Florida

This area is served by exactly one school — Abbott Memorial — an elementary school spanning grades PK–8 that also makes up the entire Florida school district in Florida, Massachusetts, a small Berkshire County hill town on the Mohawk Trail, with 83 students enrolled.

On state tests, Abbott Memorial generally trails Massachusetts averages, with one notable exception. In 2024-2025, All Grades science proficiency was 44.44% against a state rate of 41.51% — the only measure in the data where the school beat the state. By 2025-2026 that fell to 22.22% against a state rate of 40.98%. Mathematics is the deepest and steadiest shortfall: All Grades math was 23.09 points below the state in 2024-2025 and 18.38 points below in 2025-2026, while 5th-grade math came in at 7.14% against a state rate of 39.5%. ELA shows the narrowest gaps of any subject. Because the school is so small, one-year swings can amount to just a few students, so the persistent math gap is the most reliable signal. Against other Massachusetts districts, the district ranked 340 of 351 — the 3rd percentile, 0 stars — and the school has held 1 star in each ranked year, with percentile falling from 23rd to 14th to 10th.

Resources look generous for the size: a student-teacher ratio of 5.1 to 1 (2024-2025) and per-pupil spending of $20,960 (2020-2021). In a one-school district, however, high per-student spending largely reflects fixed costs spread across few children. Free/reduced-price lunch eligibility is not reported in this data, and no demographic information is provided. With roughly 7–8 students per grade and no middle or high school locally, cohort makeup alone can visibly move results from year to year.
