Summary

Lanesborough Elementary is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Lanesborough, MA, part of the Mount Greylock District. With 229 students, the school consistently performs above the state average in MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science across all grade levels.

Lanesborough Elementary's academic performance is particularly strong, with proficiency rates of 50% in ELA, 58.59% in Math, and 52.94% in Science, compared to the state averages of 41.53%, 40.74%, and 41.51% respectively. The school's performance is especially noteworthy for its low socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 12% of Massachusetts elementary schools in this category for the past three years. Additionally, the school's special education students have seen significant improvement, now ranking in the top 16% of Massachusetts elementary schools.

While Lanesborough Elementary outperforms the nearby Hancock Elementary school, it lags behind some of the higher-performing Pittsfield district schools, such as Williams and Egremont, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in both ELA and Math. The school's strong academic performance, low student-teacher ratio, and high per-student spending suggest that it is providing a quality education to its students, though the disparity between male and female student performance is an area that the school may want to investigate further.
