Central Berkshire School District

Where this district is the answer, and where it is not

7,377 homes hold 13,148 residents, about 1.8 people each. Where households are small, a district's share of the homes overstates its share of the children, and this page counts homes.

The ZIP Code areas it reaches

The spread is the thing to notice. In 01226 this district holds 100% of the homes; in 01201 it holds 1 home, under half a percent. Same district, opposite answers, and a lookup that names it without the share tells the second household the same thing as the first.

What one name misses where high school is arranged elsewhere

Central Berkshire is the largest district in 5 ZIP Code areas. Answer with its name alone and the answer misses 51 of the 7,385 homes those areas hold — though in 3 of them it holds every home there is. The count is homes, not addresses, and it is the number no lookup prints.

Central Berkshire holds 535 of the 582 homes in ZIP Code 01026 · Cummington, Massachusetts, so its name is right for most of the area and wrong for the rest: 45 homes with Mohawk Trail School District and Worthington; 2 homes in a district too small to name here.

ZIP Code 01223 · Becket, Massachusetts is a two-district area: 1,956 of its 1,960 homes are inside Central Berkshire, and the other 4 homes are in a district too small to name here. Which one an address belongs to is settled by the street, not by the five digits.

In ZIP Code 01226 · Dalton, Massachusetts the single-name answer is the true one: Central Berkshire holds all 2,927 homes counted there, and no other district holds a share worth naming.

ZIP Code 01235 · Peru, Massachusetts is another area where one name covers everything — 1,542 homes, all of them inside Central Berkshire.

Central Berkshire reaches into ZIP Code 01070 · Plainfield, Massachusetts with 39 of its 349 homes, behind Mohawk Trail School District. The familiar answer for that area is the other name, and it is wrong for those 39 homes.

Who takes the other homes in its ZIP Codes

Have a street address?

A ZIP Code names every district that can serve the area; a street address settles which one serves a home. The Census Bureau geocoder takes an exact address and returns its school districts from the current boundary files, free and with no account.

What to do next

Ask the district office to confirm your street address: look on its site for a school locator, a find my school tool or an attendance zone map, or call the office.

A ZIP Code is a set of mail delivery routes, not a boundary: in 2 of the 9 ZIP Code areas Central Berkshire reaches, at least one other district holds a real share of the homes as well, and the line between them runs along streets. Only the district can say which side of that line an address is on.

District websites and phone numbers here come from the NCES Common Core of Data directory, 2024-25 school year, filed under the same district ID as the Census boundary files. Where it lists no usable website, none is printed rather than guessed.

If a house purchase depends on the answer, ask the district itself for written confirmation of that exact address. A listing is not a district record, and neither is this page.

Where these numbers come from

The homes were counted in the 2020 Census and the district lines are the 2026 boundary file, so a fast-growing area may have changed since; ZIP Codes here are the Census Bureau's ZIP Code Tabulation Areas; a share is a share of homes, not the chance that one address is in a district; and a district is not a school attendance zone. Every source, file and caveat is on the method page.
