Summary

Undermountain is a PK–5 elementary school in Sheffield, MA, in the southern Berkshires, serving 260 students as part of the Southern Berkshire district. Its 2025–2026 rank is 438th of 899 Massachusetts schools (51st percentile, 3 stars), slightly above its district's 49th percentile. The school's rank history is volatile: very low from about 2016–17 through 2020–21, much stronger in 2022–23 and 2023–24, then a dip to the 38th percentile in 2024–25 before this year's rebound.

In 2025–2026, all-grades MCAS Next Generation proficiency was 41.54% in English Language Arts (above district and state), 40.31% in math (below both), and 48.89% in science (above both). Grade-level results vary widely: 3rd grade ELA is strong at 60%, well above the state's 42.79%, while 4th grade ELA is weak at 31.67%; 3rd grade math is a concern at 40% against the district's 53.13%, but 5th grade math and 5th grade science both beat state averages.

Compared with nearby schools, Undermountain sits mid-pack. It trails Morris (75th percentile), Richmond Consolidated (66th), Muddy Brook Regional Elementary School (64th) and Farmington River Elementary (59th), and sits just below Lee Elementary (52nd); same-district New Marlborough Central, a 58-student PK–3 school, posted higher 2024–25 scores but has no current data. Math is the clearest gap — below every nearby school with comparable data. Science is a genuine bright spot. The school's Low Socio Economic Status subgroup ranks in the 76th percentile with 4 stars, well above the school overall. Per-pupil spending was $26,686 in 2020–2021, second only to Farmington River locally, while Morris spends less and posts stronger ELA and math results.
