North Adams

Summary:

The North Adams school district in Massachusetts consists of 4 schools - 3 elementary schools (Greylock, Colegrove Park Elementary, and Brayton) and 1 high school (Drury High). The data reveals significant performance gaps between the elementary schools and the high school, as well as between the North Adams district and state averages.

Among the elementary schools, Colegrove Park Elementary stands out with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grades. For example, in 2024-2025, 32.75% of Colegrove Park students were proficient in Math, compared to 23.78% for the North Adams district and 40.74% statewide. Brayton Elementary also had some strong individual grade-level results, with 40% of 4th graders proficient in Math in 2023-2024.

In contrast, Drury High has faced challenges, with a 69.9% four-year graduation rate and a 21.7% dropout rate in 2023-2024, both of which are significantly worse than state averages. Drury High's proficiency rates on MCAS tests were also well below state averages across all subjects and grade levels. The data suggests that addressing these systemic challenges and leveraging the successful practices from the higher-performing elementary schools could be key to improving outcomes across the district.
