Summary:
ZIP code 01220, covering Adams, Massachusetts, has just one high school: Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School, a charter school serving grades 6–12 with 364 students and a 9.4 student-to-teacher ratio. Because it is the only school in the Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public (District), the school and district results are identical, and there are no other in-area high schools to compare it against.
Its results are sharply split. Tenth-grade English language arts is a clear strength at 67.74% proficient, well above the state's 45.48%, but all-grade ELA is 31.34% versus 40.03% statewide, with grades 6, 7, and 8 all below state. Mathematics is the biggest weakness: 23.98% proficient across all grades against 41.11% statewide, including 16.42% in grade 6 (state 42.59%) and 17.91% in grade 7 (state 37.48%). Grade 8 math is closer to state, at 38.71% versus 41.67%. Science, All Grades, is the standout at 61.02% proficient, 20.04 points above the state's 40.98% and matching the grade 8 science figure — but 10th-grade science (32.00% vs. 40.50%) and Biology end-of-course (29.73% vs. 37.68%) are below state, so that strength is concentrated in grade 8.
Year over year, all-grade science jumped 23.71 points (37.31% to 61.02%), while ELA fell 7.39 points and math slipped 2.02 points; Biology (+7.23) and 8th-grade civics (+8.31) improved. The graduation rate is 90.0% with a 6.7% dropout rate in 2024–2025. Rank history shows recovery: the 56th percentile in 2023–2024, 36th in 2024–2025, and 54th in 2025–2026, though the listed district rank is 211 of 351 (40th percentile, 2 stars). Per-student spending is $18,350 (2020–2021), and free/reduced-lunch data is not available.
