Summary:
Pittsfield, Massachusetts is home to three high schools: Taconic High (grades 9–12, 824 students), Pittsfield High (grades 9–12, 727 students), and Eagle Education Academy (grades 6–12, 24 students). All three belong to the Pittsfield district, which ranks 287 out of 351 districts statewide — the 18th percentile, with 1 star. Together the three schools list about 1,575 students, and the two comprehensive high schools serve roughly 98.5% of that total.
Among the two schools with reported test scores, Pittsfield High is the clear academic leader. It outperformed Taconic High in every listed MCAS subject in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026, and it has ranked higher in all three reported years, peaking in 2024–2025 at the 44th percentile with 2 stars. Its 2025–2026 Physics End-of-Course score of 57.45% proficient is the only school-subject result in the data that beats the state benchmark of 46.58%. Taconic High, however, posts the higher graduation rate — 84.1% versus 78.8%, and above the district's 79.2% — even though its proficiency sits below both district and state in every listed subject.
Eagle Education Academy looks very different: just 24 students in grades 6–12, a 2.4-to-1 student-teacher ratio, and $37,122 in per-student spending, nearly double the roughly $19,000 at the other two schools. Its reported 0.0% graduation rate and 83.3% dropout rate are stark, but with so few students those figures can shift widely from year to year. Across the district, proficiency trails the state in every listed subject, and spending or class size does not track simply with outcomes here. Free/reduced lunch data is not available for any of the three schools.
