Summary:
Schools in Northern Berkshire Regional Vocational Technical consist of exactly one school: Charles McCann Vocational Technical in North Adams, Massachusetts. It is a high school serving grades 9–12 with 514 students; there are no elementary, middle, or alternative schools in the district. Because the district contains only one school, school-level and district-level figures are identical for test scores, graduation rate, and dropout rate, so Charles McCann is both the sole school and the entire district.
Its strongest outcomes are completion metrics rather than test proficiency. The graduation rate is 97.7% and the dropout rate is 1.5%, both strong, and the student-teacher ratio of 10.6 indicates relatively favorable staffing. Proficiency, however, remains below the state in every reported MCAS subject. In 2025–2026, Mathematics was 21.37 versus 43.73 statewide (a gap of 22.36 points), ELA was 27.73 versus 45.48, Science was 30.28 versus 40.50, and Biology was 29.82 versus 37.68. The school carries a 1-star rating and a district summary rank of 292 of 351 (17th percentile).
There is recent improvement: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, ELA rose 1.92 points, Mathematics 6.74 points, and Science 9.45 points, and the rank improved from 306 of 349 (12th percentile) to 254 of 353 (28th percentile), though still below the 2023–2024 mark of 227 of 348 (35th percentile, 2 stars). Note that state scores also fell in that period, and the free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank, so economic context is unavailable and should not be treated as zero. Per-student spending was $25,282 in 2020–2021.
