Summary

Morningside Community School is a PK–5 elementary school in Pittsfield, MA, serving 376 students as part of Pittsfield Public Schools. In 2025–26 it ranked 832 of 899 elementary schools statewide — the 7th percentile — with 0 stars, while the district ranked 287 of 351 (18th percentile, 1 star). On 2025–26 MCAS Next Generation tests, 17.86% of students were proficient in English language arts, 13.1% in mathematics, and 20% in science — below district rates of 25.3%, 21.49%, and 22.51%, and far below state rates of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. This is not a one-year dip: the school has never exceeded the 15th percentile in the years provided.

Results vary by grade. Third grade ELA (27.12% proficient) and fourth grade math (20.34%) are the school's relative bright spots, while third grade math (8.47%) and fifth grade ELA (12%) are weakest; all grade-level results remain below district and state benchmarks. Among nearby schools, Morningside Community School sits near the bottom of the regular elementary schools in its district. Egremont, which also enrolls 376 students, scores 43.01% in ELA, 45.95% in math, and 69.39% in science despite spending less per pupil ($17,790 vs. $18,521) and having a larger student–teacher ratio (12.6 vs. 11). Williams and Robert T. Capeless Elementary School also rank far higher, as do Craneville in Central Berkshire and Lanesborough Elementary in Mount Greylock. Morningside is above only Silvio O Conte Community and Crosby Educational Academy among the listed nearby schools; Crosby Educational Academy enrolls 24 students, so its scores should be treated cautiously.

Some subgroup results are comparatively stronger than the school's overall standing: special education students ranked in the 41st percentile (2 stars) in 2025–26, up from the 23rd percentile in 2023–24, and English Language Learner students rose to the 21st percentile from the 2nd. Low-income students ranked in the 19th percentile. Funding and class size do not clearly explain the performance gap, since Morningside's per-pupil spending and student–teacher ratio are mid-range among nearby schools. Two data gaps are worth noting: free/reduced lunch percentages are not reported for 2022–23 through 2024–25, and spending data is only available through 2020–21.
