Summary

Silvio O Conte Community is an elementary school in Pittsfield, Massachusetts, serving 348 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Pittsfield school district, which is ranked 277 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Silvio O Conte Community consistently underperforms compared to the Pittsfield district and the state of Massachusetts on MCAS Next Generation assessments for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 15.44% of Silvio O Conte students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 28.88% in Pittsfield and 41.53% statewide. The school has been ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Massachusetts elementary schools for the past several years, and it struggles to support the academic achievement of various student subgroups.

While Silvio O Conte Community spends more per student ($20,522 in 2020-2021) than the state average, this has not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's performance is significantly worse than nearby elementary schools in the Pittsfield district, such as Williams, Robert T. Capeless, and Egremont, which consistently outperform Silvio O Conte Community on MCAS assessments and have higher statewide rankings. Despite the school's challenges, it is located within a few miles of several higher-performing elementary schools, including Lanesborough Elementary and Craneville, which are in neighboring districts.
