Summary

Muddy Brook Regional Elementary School is a public school in Great Barrington, MA, serving 365 students in grades PK–4 as part of the Berkshire Hills district, which ranks in the 60th percentile statewide.

Muddy Brook's current rank is 328 of 899 schools (64th percentile, 3 stars) — near its best level in a decade, after a low point in 2016–2017 when it was in the 12th percentile with 1 star. Academically, ELA is its clearest strength: 52.34% of all students met or exceeded expectations in 2025–2026, which is 12.31 points above the state and 4.00 points above its district. Math was 45.45%, 4.34 points above the state and 11.45 points above the district. Third grade stood out (60.66% ELA, 17.87 points above the state), while fourth grade math (40.58%) was above the district but slightly below the state's 43.20%. Notably, the school ranks in the 85th percentile for low-income students, the 76th for Hispanic students, and the 71st for special education students — all 4-star results and stronger than its overall rank.

Compared with neighbors, Muddy Brook's ELA results are the second-highest among nearby schools, behind Morris and just ahead of Richmond Consolidated; its math is middle-of-the-pack. Becket Washington School and Egremont post stronger science results, but because Muddy Brook serves only PK–4 it has no grade-5 science scores, so that gap is structural rather than a performance weakness. Its student-teacher ratio of 9.2 is better than most nearby schools, and its spending of $25,551 per student (2020–2021) is on the higher side. Free/reduced-lunch data isn't provided, so the low-income subgroup rank is the best available proxy.
