The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am senior at Pittsfield High School and i have been there for all four years of high school. I have enjoyed my experience at Pittsfield High School especially the many opportunities the school has and the new experiences you can achieve there. For example i was a band member for all four years, and being a part of that was a very cool experience that I enjoyed a lot.

Overall it's a pretty good school. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the school's heat and stuff like that. Also they should have students choose the food they want not the cafeteria managers. I also think that the admin need to stop with the Favorites because it affects a lot of school work and participation.
