Better than 9% of Massachusetts elementary schools

Summary

Crosby is an elementary school located in Pittsfield, MA, serving grades PK-5 with 247 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools over the past several years, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Crosby significantly underperforms compared to the Pittsfield district and the state of Massachusetts in MCAS Next Generation assessments across all grades and subjects. For example, in 2024-2025, only 18.95% of Crosby students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.88% in Pittsfield and 41.53% statewide. In math, the proficiency rate was 16.84% at Crosby, 24.57% in Pittsfield, and 40.74% statewide. Crosby's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as low socioeconomic status and disabled students.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($21,388 in 2020-2021) compared to the state average, Crosby's academic outcomes do not reflect this higher investment. The school's challenges appear to be systemic, as it has been a low-performing school for many years with no significant improvement in its ranking or academic proficiency rates. In comparison, nearby schools like Allendale, Williams, and Egremont consistently outperform Crosby on MCAS assessments and have higher SchoolDigger ratings.
