Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public

Located at 1 Commercial Place in Adams, Massachusetts, Berkshire Arts and Technology Charter Public School operates as an active, single-school independent charter district serving the fringe town community within the greater Pittsfield metropolitan area. Tailored specifically for secondary education, the district offers a focused academic program for middle and high school students spanning grades 6 through 12. With a total enrollment of 364 students, the school maintains robust middle school cohorts—starting with 72 sixth graders—before transitioning into more specialized, intimate high school class sizes that lead up to a senior class of 28 graduating students.

The district stands out for its exceptionally supportive educational environment, anchored by a total staff of approximately 130 full-time equivalent personnel. This dedicated team includes more than 77 classroom teachers, nearly six instructional aides, and over 47 specialized support staff members, ensuring a remarkably low student-to-educator ratio. Serving a vibrant and diverse student body that includes White, Hispanic, Black, and multiracial learners, the district brings a integrated focus on arts and technology to the northern Berkshires.
