GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

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.

My experience at Pittsfield High School was a great experience I made many friends and did track.

My favorite parts were the elective classes such as culinary, industrial arts, and even ceramics.
