Summary

Allendale is a PK–5 elementary school in Pittsfield, MA, with 236 students, serving families in the Pittsfield district in the Berkshires. In 2025–2026, it ranked 592nd of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (34th percentile, 2 stars), while the Pittsfield district ranked 287th of 351 (18th percentile, 1 star). Allendale’s All Grades proficiency was 37.25% in English Language Arts, 28.85% in math, and 28.95% in science. That beat district averages (25.3%, 21.49%, and 22.51%) in all three subjects, but trailed state averages (40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%). The school’s 2024–2025 results were closer to state levels, so the 2025–2026 drop in math and science is worth watching.

Grade-level results point to Grade 5 as the clearest weak spot. In 2025–2026, Grade 5 proficiency was 25.00% in ELA, 15.79% in math, and 28.95% in science, all below district and state levels; Grade 5 math is especially low. Grade 4 ELA was a bright spot at 50.00%, above both district and state. Compared with nearby schools, Allendale sits in the lower middle. It outperforms Stearns overall and in ELA/math, though Stearns’ science proficiency (40.74%) is well above Allendale’s. It also outperforms Crosby Educational Academy, Crosby, Morningside Community School, and Silvio O Conte Community, but trails Robert T. Capeless Elementary School, Egremont, Williams, Lanesborough Elementary, and Craneville.

Subgroup results are mixed. Low-income students ranked at the 56th percentile in 2025–2026 and at the 75th/76th percentile in the prior two years, consistently above Allendale’s overall school percentile, which suggests relatively effective support for that group. Special education students also ranked above the state median in 2020–2021 and 2021–2022. In 2025–2026, male students (30th percentile) lagged female students (41st percentile). Resource-wise, Allendale had a student-teacher ratio of 10.3 in 2024–2025—lower than Craneville (14.2), Egremont (12.6), Williams (11.7), Robert T. Capeless Elementary School (11.5), and Morningside Community School (11.0). Its 2020–2021 per-pupil spending was $17,584, lower than most nearby same-district peers but higher than Craneville’s $16,698; this is historical context.
