Andover High is one of the stronger high schools in the state. It ranked 57th of 353 (84th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–26, after 41st of 349 (88th percentile) in 2024–25 and 44th of 348 (87th percentile) in 2023–24. On 2025–26 MCAS Next Generation tests, 10th graders reached 62.37% proficient in English language arts versus 45.48% statewide, 73.77% in mathematics versus 43.73%, and 57.75% in science versus 40.50% — a math lead of roughly 30 percentage points.

The main watch item: 10th-grade ELA fell from 74.36% to 62.37% and science from 72.41% to 57.75% year over year, declines larger than the state's, narrowing the school's lead; math slipped 3.05 points. The rank decline is consistent with that. Note the 2025–26 physics result is End of Course while 2024–25 is All Grades, so they are not directly comparable. The student-teacher ratio is 12.8 and per-pupil spending was $17,743 in 2020–21, but free/reduced-lunch data is not reported here, so socioeconomic context is unavailable. Overall, Andover High remains high-performing.
