Summary:
Webster, Massachusetts has one public high school serving grades 9–12: Bartlett High School, with about 408 students in the Webster district. Because it is the only high school in the city, there are no local high-school comparisons; the useful comparisons are between Bartlett, its district, and Massachusetts statewide averages.
Bartlett stands out for very low state rankings and test proficiency. In 2025–26, it ranked 324 out of 353 Massachusetts high schools, with a percentile of 8 and 0 stars. The Webster district ranked 342 out of 351, at the 3rd percentile with 0 stars. In 2025–26 10th-grade MCAS, Bartlett’s proficiency was 10.39% in ELA versus 45.48% statewide, 15.58% in mathematics versus 43.73%, 8.82% in science versus 40.5%, and 10.38% in Biology End of Course versus 37.68%. These gaps are large across every subject. ELA also dropped sharply from 23.91% in 2024–25 to 10.39% in 2025–26, while math rose slightly from 13.19% to 15.58% but remained far below the state.
Bartlett’s graduation rate was 79.6%, slightly above the district’s 78.0%, but its dropout rate was 9.7%, slightly above the district’s 9.2%. The student-teacher ratio was 11.6, which is relatively favorable on its face, and per-student spending was $19,861 in 2020–21, though that figure is several years older than the outcome data. Free/reduced-price lunch data were not reported, so economic context is unavailable. Overall, Bartlett generally edges out its own district in some measures, but both the school and district remain far below state averages in rankings, MCAS proficiency, and key high-school outcomes.
