Summary

Williamstown Elementary is a PK–6 school serving 407 students in Williamstown, a small town in the Berkshire region of western Massachusetts, and it is part of the Mount Greylock district, which ranks 81st of 351 districts in the state. The school has been a consistent top-quartile performer, though it has cooled from a very high peak: it ranked in the 91st percentile with 5 stars in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022, then settled into the 73rd–76th percentile range with 4 stars from 2023–2024 through 2025–2026.

ELA is the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 60.63% of students were proficient in ELA, about 20 points above the state's 40.03% and the highest among nearby schools with reported data. Third-grade ELA stands out at 75.47%. Math proficiency was 55%, above the state's 41.11% but below the district's 57.01%, and that advantage is concentrated in 3rd grade (79.25%) — by 5th grade, math falls to 32.69%, below both district and state. Science was 48.08%, above the state and higher than every nearby school with reported data, but down sharply from 69.84% in 2022–2023 and 61.54% in 2024–2025.

Compared with nearby schools, Williamstown sits in a different tier: the North Adams, Hoosac Valley Regional, Pittsfield, Florida, and Clarksburg districts rank far lower statewide, and schools such as Colegrove Park Elementary post much lower ELA proficiency. The closest comparison is Lanesborough Elementary, which shares the district — Williamstown is stronger in ELA and science, while Lanesborough is stronger in math overall (61.34%). The biggest internal concern is subgroup equity: low-income students ranked in the 15th percentile statewide in 2025–2026 with 1 star, and special education students ranked in the low 30s in 2024–2025 and 2023–2024 with 2 stars, well below the school's overall results.
