Becket Washington School

Great small school with teachers and administrators that care!

Pre-school is free in surrounding districts: Pittsfield and Gateway Regional. Pre-K is $500 a month for a student not on an iep residing in the Central Berkshire Regional School District. The programming is monitored and more accountability is placed on what is being taught and ensuring students are safely monitored within the districts offering Pre-K at no cost to ALL students ages 3-5.

My oldest child has some special needs as well as one of my middle children. In kindergarten their needs were ignored due to the teachers personal beliefs. However once I put up a huge stink and made sure the kids had a 504 and an IEP The special education program is top notch. I moved out of district but chose to keep my child there because of the special ed staff. So in short, if you feel something is not going well be a strong advocate for your child, once they are eligible for extra help they will flourish.

Children come home very frustrated from the school day. Never any homework. Very frustrating for children who are eager to learn, never encourage by school to be successful.
