Summary
Colegrove Park Elementary is a public school in North Adams, MA, serving 369 students in grades 3–6 as part of the North Adams district, which ranks 335th of 351 districts statewide (5th percentile). The school itself ranked 693rd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026 (23rd percentile, 1 star), a bottom-quartile result that is nonetheless stronger than its district overall. Its statewide rank has improved over the past decade, moving from the 9th percentile in 2016–2017 to 29th in 2024–2025, then slipping to 23rd in 2025–2026.
On 2025–2026 MCAS tests, Colegrove Park outperformed its own district in all three subjects but trailed the state: 25.61% proficient in ELA, 29.18% in math, and 17.72% in science, compared with statewide figures of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Science is the sharpest current weakness and the most volatile measure, dropping from 37.04% in 2023–2024 and 32.94% in 2024–2025; because science is tested only in 5th grade, a small cohort can swing year-to-year results. Math has generally been the school's relatively stronger subject. Nearby comparisons vary widely: Williamstown Elementary, 4.68 miles away with similar enrollment and similar per-student spending, scored far higher (60.63% ELA, 55% math, 48.08% science), as did Lanesborough Elementary.
The student-teacher ratio has risen from 8.3 in 2022–2023 to 12.1 in 2024–2025, higher than Brayton (9.7) and Williamstown (10.4). Per-student spending was $21,371 in 2020–2021, close to Williamstown's. School-effectiveness ranks relative to schools serving similar student groups are uneven, and these ranks describe the school, not its students; the highest was for Hispanic students (48th percentile) and low-socioeconomic students (31st), with lower ranks for male students (20th) and White students (10th). A very small Multi-racial subgroup ranked 0th percentile (48th of 48) and should be interpreted cautiously. Brayton, the district's PK–2 school, shows a similar overall pattern.
