Summary:
Boylston, Massachusetts is a small town served by two schools in the Berlin-Boylston district: Tahanto Regional High, a combined middle and high school serving grades 6–12 with 522 students, and Boylston Elementary School, serving prekindergarten through grade 5 with 347 students. Together they cover the full PK–12 span, and the district ranks 59th of 351 districts statewide — the 83rd percentile — with 4 stars. No free/reduced-lunch figures are available for either school, so socioeconomic context is missing from this data set.
Tahanto Regional High is the standout, ranking 19th of 353 high schools — the 95th percentile — with 5 stars, a 98.3% graduation rate, and a 1.7% dropout rate. Its all-grade proficiency rates are 55.73% in ELA, 65.08% in math, and 68.54% in science, far above state averages of 40.03%, 41.11%, and 40.98%. Tenth-grade results are exceptional: 83.1% in ELA, 72.86% in math, and 80% in science, with Biology at 71.93% and Civics at 74.16%. The relative soft spot is middle-grade ELA, at 52.63% in 7th grade and 49.44% in 8th grade, though both still exceed state averages.
Boylston Elementary School is a solid 4-star school, ranked 216th of 899 elementary schools (76th percentile), down slightly from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024. It is strongest in ELA (60.38%) and science (70%), while math (52.2%) is above the state’s 41.11% but below the district’s 56.34%. Third grade is very strong at 77.78% in ELA and 70.37% in math; 5th-grade math, at 37.5%, falls below the state’s 39.5%. Parents should note that spending figures date to 2020–2021, that small grade sizes can cause large year-to-year swings, and that Tahanto’s 6–12 span folds middle-school results into a high school label.
