How is our school doing overall?

Level1
Meeting gap narrowing goals

Most schools are assigned a level from 1-5, with those meeting their proficiency gap-narrowing goals in Level 1 and the lowest performing in Levels 4 and 5. A district is typically assigned a level based on the level of its lowest performing school. Placing schools and districts into levels helps districts know which schools need more support, and helps the state know which districts need the most assistance.

School percentile

School percentiles (1-99) indicate how a school is performing overall compared to other schools that serve the same or similar grades. Our school's percentile is below.

District determination of need for special education technical assistance or intervention
Meets Requirements (MR)

Districts, including single school districts, are assigned a determination of need for special education technical assistance or intervention. These determinations, which are typically based on the district's accountability and assistance level, range from Meets Requirements (Level 1 districts) to Needs Substantial Intervention (Level 5 districts). The determination level, which incorporates compliance measures also, helps to identify whether the Department will require districts to take additional actions to support improved outcomes for all children, especially students with disabilities.

What else should you know about our school?
Mount Greylock Regional School is characterized by its strong, vibrant school culture, referred to as The Greylock Way, built on the shared values of integrity, responsibility and perseverance. With a primary goal of fostering academic curiosity and engagement, Mount Greylock serves students in grades 7-12 by offering a rigorous and varied curricular and co-curricular program. Strong 7th and 8th grade interdisciplinary teams support project-based learning at the middle school level. Students in high school can take advantage of myriad core offerings across disciplines at the college preparatory and honors levels. Students can pursue 13 Advanced Placement courses through our open enrollment program. Elective offerings focus on the performing and visual arts, computer science, technology, engineering and forensics, business, health/social-emotional wellness and leadership. Further, students meeting distinct academic criteria can pursue dual enrollment at Williams College, Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and Berkshire Community College, including pursuing an alternative senior year composed of college-based classes. Virtual High School provides additional electives in an online environment. Work-based learning and independent study opportunities allow students to explore vocational and interdisciplinary interests. As important as Mount Greylock’s academics are its co-curricular activities, including three drama productions, including a collaboration with Shakespeare & Company in Lenox, MA, a robust, title-winning athletics program, a First Robotics team, and dozens of student-directed clubs. Almost 80% of Mount Greylock students are involved in co-curriculars at the school with others pursuing co-curriculars beyond the school grounds. 85-90% of graduates pursue post-secondary education at 4- or 2-year institutions; other graduates enlist in the military or join the workforce.
