Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School

Public, Charter Grades 6-12

225^th

of 349 Massachusetts High Schools

Better than 36% of Massachusetts high schools

Summary

Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School is a public charter high school located in Adams, MA, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 365 students. The school is part of the Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public district, which is ranked 250 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's performance has shown a declining trend over the years, with its statewide ranking and rating dropping from a high of 5 stars in 2014-2015 to 2 stars in the current and recent school years. This decline is reflected in the school's lower graduation rates, higher dropout rates, and consistently below-average academic proficiency scores compared to the state. For example, nearby schools like Lenox Memorial High and Mt Greylock Regional High generally outperform Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School in terms of statewide rankings, graduation rates, and academic proficiency.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $18,350 in 2020-2021 and a lower student-teacher ratio of 10.3 in 2023-2024 compared to nearby traditional public high schools, the school's academic performance remains a concern. The school's MCAS Next Generation test scores are generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas, with particularly low proficiency rates in Mathematics. Addressing these challenges and implementing targeted interventions could be crucial for improving the school's overall performance and outcomes for its students.
