Summary

Allendale is an elementary school located in Pittsfield, MA, serving grades PK-5 with 251 students. It is part of the Pittsfield school district, which is ranked 277 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Allendale has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts elementary schools, with a ranking between 502-723 over the past 10 school years and a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Allendale's academic performance, as measured by MCAS Next Generation test scores, is generally higher than the Pittsfield district average but lower than the state average. For example, in 2024-2025, Allendale had 41.35% of students proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.88% for Pittsfield and 41.53% for Massachusetts. In math, Allendale had 39.42% proficient or better, compared to 24.57% for Pittsfield and 40.74% for Massachusetts. However, Allendale's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White students and students with low socioeconomic status performing relatively well, while Hispanic students and students with disabilities perform poorly.

Despite spending more per student than the state average, with $17,584 spent per student in 2020-2021, Allendale's academic performance is still below the state average. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be enough to drive significant improvements in student outcomes. Allendale's performance is relatively on par with or slightly better than other Pittsfield district schools, such as Stearns and Robert T. Capeless Elementary, but it lags behind higher-performing schools in the nearby Mount Greylock and Central Berkshire districts, such as Lanesborough Elementary and Craneville.
