Summary:
Spencer-E Brookfield has one high school in this data: David Prouty High, serving grades 9–12 with 306 students in Spencer, MA, as part of the Spencer-E Brookfield district. The district is ranked 279th of 351 in Massachusetts, in the 21st percentile with 1 star, while the school has improved in rank history: 222nd of 348 in 2023–2024, 216th of 349 in 2024–2025, and 205th of 353 in 2025–2026, moving from the 36th to 42nd percentile and holding 2 stars.
Academically, 10th-grade English Language Arts is the clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 59.62% of students were proficient, above the district’s 54.24% and the state’s 45.48%, and up from 47.46% in 2024–2025. Math improved from 29.63% to 38.46%, above the district’s 35.59% but still below the state’s 43.73%. Science is the main challenge: 10th-grade proficiency fell from 37.74% to 24%, well below the state’s 40.5%. Biology End-of-Course proficiency was 23.53%, compared with 23.33% in the district and 37.68% statewide; the prior year’s Biology All Grades result was 20.34%.
For completion, the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 77.0% at the school versus 76.0% in the district, and the dropout rate was 12.2% versus 12.0%. The student-teacher ratio was 9.9:1, and per-pupil spending was $17,944 in 2020–2021; free/reduced lunch was not reported. Because this area has only one high school, there are no local peers to compare, and some measures lack state benchmarks. Still, David Prouty High appears to be a relative bright spot within its district, with strong ELA and improving math and rank, while science and completion rates are areas to watch.
