Summary:
ZIP code 01201 covers Pittsfield, Massachusetts, where 13 schools — 8 elementary, 2 middle, and 3 high — serve 4,697 students, all within the Pittsfield district, which ranks 287 of 351 statewide (18th percentile, 1 star). The largest school is Taconic High with 824 students, and the smallest are Crosby Educational Academy and Eagle Education Academy with 24 each. Elementary schools enroll 2,128 students, middle schools 994, and high schools 1,575. Free/reduced lunch percentages are blank for every school, so poverty-related comparisons are not possible, and spending figures date from 2020–2021.
Results vary enormously from school to school. Williams is the strongest elementary school, ranking 271 of 899 (70th percentile, 3 stars) with 53.92% ELA, 51.49% math, and 50% science proficiency. Egremont follows at 354 of 899 (61st percentile, 3 stars), posting the highest science score in the data set at 69.39%. At the other end, Silvio O Conte Community ranks 888 of 899 (1st percentile, 0 stars) with just 5.66% ELA and 9.55% math. Among middle schools, Theodore Herberg Middle (22nd percentile) outperforms John T Reid Middle (7th percentile) in every subject. Pittsfield High leads Taconic High in every 10th-grade subject and posts 57.45% in physics, though its rank fell from the 44th to the 29th percentile.
Spending and class size do not track with results. Williams and Egremont spend $18,800 and $17,790 per student, mid-range for regular schools, while Silvio O Conte spends $20,522 and ranks in the 1st percentile. Stearns has the lowest regular student-teacher ratio (6.9) but sits at only the 24th percentile. Taconic High graduates 84.1% of students, above the district's 79.2%, yet has lower test proficiency than Pittsfield High (78.8% graduation). Eagle Education Academy reports a 0.0% graduation rate and 83.3% dropout rate, and Crosby Educational Academy spends $50,584 per student; both enroll only 24 students, so those figures can swing sharply and should be read with caution.
