The Somerset Berkley Regional School District serves the towns of Berkley and Somerset, two adjacent communities in Bristol County on the southeastern side of Massachusetts, roughly 45 miles south of Boston and a short distance from Fall River and Taunton. Berkley is the smaller of the two towns, known for its rural character, farmland, and conservation areas, while Somerset sits along the Taunton River and has a historic waterfront and village centers. Both towns are primarily residential, with single-family homes making up much of the housing stock. Berkley is the birthplace of Dighton Rock's neighboring history and is notable for the Berkley Neck area, which has long supported local agriculture and fishing traditions. The district's regional high school, Somerset Berkley Regional High School, serves students from both communities.
