Summary:

Dighton, Massachusetts has three public schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12: Dighton Elementary (PK–4, 468 students) and Dighton Middle School (5–8, 355 students) in the Dighton-Rehoboth district, plus Bristol County Agricultural High (9–12, 631 students) in the Bristol County Agricultural district. Total enrollment is 1,454, and there are no alternative schools in this list. All three schools earned 3 stars in 2025–2026. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all three, so economic context is not available here.

Standouts differ by level. Bristol County Agricultural High has a 98.0% graduation rate, a 1.3% dropout rate, and strong science: 10th-grade Science 55.33% vs. state 40.50%, and Biology End-of-Course 42.41% vs. 37.68%. Its 2025–2026 ELA and math are below state, however. Dighton Elementary is the math and improvement standout: all-grade math 48.75% vs. state 41.11%, 4th-grade math 52.50% vs. 43.20%, and 3rd-grade ELA 48.05% vs. 42.79%; it rose from 43rd percentile to 57th percentile (3 stars). Dighton Middle School has the highest school-level rank percentile in 2025–2026 (63rd, 3 stars), with all-grade Science 48.19% vs. state 40.98%, plus strong 6th- and 7th-grade math. Its 5th-grade math is a weak spot at 23.53% vs. state 39.50%, 5th-grade ELA is 29.41% vs. 38.15%, and 2025–2026 ELA, math, and science declined from 2024–2025.

Resource patterns differ: the high school is largest, has the lowest student-teacher ratio (11.9), and spends the most per student ($21,284 in 2020–2021). The middle school has the highest ratio (14.4) and lowest spending ($15,776), while the elementary school is in between (13.6; $16,701). Science is the most consistent shared strength at the middle and high school levels, while math is uneven and ELA is mixed. The elementary school is improving, the high school remains 3 stars after a slight 2025–2026 slip, and the middle school is highly ranked but declining from 2024–2025. Overall, Dighton offers a solid 3-star profile, with elementary math and middle/high science as bright spots and high school math/ELA plus middle school 5th-grade math/ELA as concerns.
