Summary

Lanesborough Elementary is a PK–6 school at 188 Summer Street in Lanesborough, MA, serving 231 students as the only school here in the Mount Greylock district rather than the Pittsfield district. It ranks 333rd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars) for 2025-2026, improved from the 56th percentile in 2018-2019, peaking at 77th in 2020-2021 and settling into a 63rd–70th percentile band over the last five reported years.

Math is the standout: proficiency rose in each of the last three years to 61.34% in 2025-2026, about 20 points above the state and above its own district — the highest among comparison schools, ahead of Robert T. Capeless Elementary School, Williams, Craneville, Egremont and Hancock Elementary. The school also serves low-income students unusually well, ranking at the 79th percentile or higher for three straight years, far above its own overall standing. Resources are comparatively strong too: $22,250 per student in 2020-21, more than every nearby school except the 24-student Crosby Educational Academy, with a 10.5:1 student-to-teacher ratio.

The trade-offs: ELA has drifted down to 45.38%, about 10 points below its district, and science fell from 58.33% to 31.03%. Grade-level results split sharply — 6th grade is exceptional (81.25% math, 67.74% ELA), while 5th grade is the weak point (24.14% ELA). Its math beats most neighbors, but its ELA trails Hancock Elementary and Williams, and its science sits below nearly everyone. It still outperforms Silvio O Conte Community, Crosby Educational Academy and Morningside Community School by 25 to 60 points. Keep in mind that grade cohorts number only about 25–32 students, so small swings move percentages a lot, and the student-to-teacher ratio has risen from 9.3 to 10.5.
