Summary:
The Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public (District) contains just one high school, Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School, located in Adams, Massachusetts. It is a charter public school serving grades 6 through 12 with 364 students, so it is both the district's only middle school and its only high school — what the school posts is what the district posts. Because the school spans both middle and high school grades, "All Grades" figures blend younger and older students, which makes grade-by-grade results the most useful way for families to judge how it is doing.
Strengths cluster in the upper grades. Tenth-grade English language arts is 67.74% proficient against 45.48% statewide, about 22 points above the state. Eighth-grade science is 61.02% proficient versus 38.93% statewide, also roughly 22 points above. The graduation rate is 90.0%, and the student-to-teacher ratio of 9.4 suggests relatively small instructional loads. Ranking improved from 225th of 349 in 2024–2025 to 163rd of 353 in 2025–2026, though that is still below its 2023–2024 rank of 152nd of 348, and the district summary line shows 211th of 351 — a mixed signal.
Challenges are concentrated in math and the middle grades. Math is below state at every grade tested: all grades 23.98% vs 41.11%, 6th grade 16.42% vs 42.59%, 7th grade 17.91% vs 37.48%, 8th grade 38.71% vs 41.67%, and 10th grade 38.46% vs 43.73%. Middle-school ELA also trails state (6th 26.09%, 7th 34.29%, 8th 33.87%). High-school science is weaker than the standout 8th-grade result: 10th-grade science is 32% and Biology 29.73%, both below state. The dropout rate is 6.7%. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported here, so economic context cannot be assessed.
