Summary

Crosby is a PK–5 elementary school at 517 West Street in Pittsfield, MA, serving 249 students in the Pittsfield Public Schools district. It ranks 738th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools (18th percentile, 1 star), and its MCAS proficiency — about 21% in English language arts, 24% in math, and 23% in science — trails the state by roughly 17–19 percentage points in every subject.

There is real good news: Crosby has climbed steadily from the 2nd percentile in 2018–19 to the 18th percentile now, its best showing in a decade, with ELA up about 7.5 points and math up about 11 points over four years. Math and science now edge above district averages, though ELA remains below. The strongest signal is for low-income students, whose 35th-percentile, 2-star rating is the school's highest and has risen sharply year over year — evidence the school adds more value for the population it serves most than its overall rank suggests. Fifth grade beats the district in both ELA and math, but third-grade ELA (15.38%) and fourth-grade math (11.11%) are the clear, concentrated weak spots.

Notably, Crosby spends the most per student of any Pittsfield elementary ($21,388) and has nearly the smallest classes, yet ranks sixth of eight locally. Williams spends about $2,600 less per student and reaches the 70th percentile, while Robert T. Capeless Elementary School spends about $1,300 less and reaches the 65th. Nearby schools span a wide range: Silvio O Conte Community and Morningside Community School rank below Crosby, while Egremont reaches the 61st percentile. Craneville in Central Berkshire spends far less per student yet reaches 49.33% math proficiency. A separate 24-student specialized program, Crosby Educational Academy, shares the building and should not be treated as part of the main school's results.
