Summary:
ZIP code 01247 contains six schools—four elementary and two high—serving students from prekindergarten through grade 12, with 1,950 students enrolled across four districts and no standalone middle schools, since middle grades are embedded in Drury High (7–12), Clarksburg Elementary (PK–8), and Abbott Memorial (PK–8).
Among the standouts, Charles McCann Vocational Technical, in the Northern Berkshire Regional Vocational Technical district, is the largest school at 514 students and posts the area's strongest completion outcomes: a 97.7% graduation rate and a 1.5% dropout rate, along with the highest reported per-pupil spending of $25,282. Its MCAS proficiency still sits below state averages, though 10th-grade ELA, math, and science all improved year over year. Among elementary schools, Clarksburg Elementary leads all-grade ELA at 31.82% and science at 34.62%, with above-state results in 3rd-grade math, 8th-grade science, and 8th-grade civics, while Colegrove Park Elementary has the top elementary all-grade math result at 29.18%. Brayton serves PK–2 and has no MCAS scores in this dataset.
The clearest challenge is Drury High and the North Adams district, ranked 335 of 351 with 0 stars. Drury's all-grade proficiency is 9.15% in ELA, 9.86% in math, and 6.25% in science, with 8th-grade ELA at just 1.56% and an 84.9% graduation rate versus McCann's 97.7%. Abbott Memorial, in the Florida district, is very small at 83 students, making results volatile—science fell from 44.44% to 22.22%. Free/reduced lunch data is unavailable for every school, and per-pupil spending figures are from 2020–2021, so both should be read as context rather than current measures.
