Summary:
Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public (District) is a single-school district in Adams, Massachusetts, made up of just one high school that serves grades 6 through 12 with 364 students enrolled. Because there are no other schools to compare against, everything about this district is really a story about Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School. The district as a whole ranks 211 of 351 schools, at the 40th percentile with 2 stars, while the school's own rank history has moved around: 163 of 353 (54th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026, 225 of 349 (36th percentile, 2 stars) in 2024–2025, and 152 of 348 (56th percentile, 3 stars) in 2023–2024. The school also reports a 90.0% graduation rate, a 6.7% dropout rate, a 9.4 student/teacher ratio, and $18,350 per-student spending from 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so economic need cannot be assessed here.
Academically, results are sharply split by subject and grade. Tenth-grade ELA is a clear strength at 67.74% proficient, 22.26 points above the state's 45.48%, and 8th-grade Science is 61.02% versus the state's 38.93%. All Grades Science is also well above state at 61.02% compared with 40.98%. Mathematics is the broadest weakness: every reported grade is below state, with All Grades Math at 23.98% versus 41.11%, 6th-grade Math at 16.42% versus 42.59%, and 7th-grade Math at 17.91% versus 37.48%. Eighth- and 10th-grade math come much closer, only about 3–5 points behind state. Middle-grade ELA (grades 6, 7, and 8) also falls below state, dragging All Grades ELA to 31.34% against 40.03%.
Year over year, All Grades Science jumped 23.71 points, from 37.31% to 61.02%, while All Grades ELA fell 7.39 points, from 38.73% to 31.34%, and All Grades Math slipped from 26.00% to 23.98%. Note that the All Grades Science figure exactly matches the 8th-grade result, suggesting it is dominated by that grade, since 10th-grade Science (32.00%) and Biology (29.73%) remain below state. The main opportunity for families to watch is middle-school math, especially grades 6 and 7.
