Summary:
The town of Bourne, Massachusetts is home to a single public high school, Bourne High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 85.1%, its overall performance appears to be declining, with the school ranking 202 out of 349 Massachusetts high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Bourne High School's MCAS test scores are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science, where the school scored 36.62% and 31.75% proficient or better, respectively, compared to the state averages of 44.6% and 45.89%. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.4, which could indicate challenges in providing individualized attention to students. The Bourne school district as a whole is ranked 258 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and is rated 1 star out of 5 by SchoolDigger, suggesting that the district may be facing broader challenges that could be impacting the performance of Bourne High School.
Overall, while Bourne High School has some positive metrics, such as a relatively high graduation rate, it appears to be an average-performing school in the state of Massachusetts, with room for improvement in key areas like mathematics and science. The school's declining performance and the challenges facing the broader Bourne school district suggest that parents and community members may need to work closely with school and district leaders to identify and address the factors contributing to the school's underperformance.
