Summary:
Easthampton has a single public high school serving grades 9–12: Easthampton High, located at 70 Williston Avenue with 377 students. It is part of the Easthampton district, which is itself ranked 201 of 351 districts statewide, in the 43rd percentile with 2 stars. Because there is only one high school in town, there are no local school-to-school comparisons to make — the useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and the school's own performance over time.
The headline for Easthampton High is a striking upward climb in the state rankings. In 2023–2024 it ranked 254th of 348 schools at the 27th percentile with 1 star; by 2024–2025 it was 221st of 349 at the 37th percentile with 2 stars; and in 2025–2026 it reached 115th of 353, the 67th percentile with 3 stars — a 139-place jump in two years. That improvement shows in test scores: in 2024–2025 the school trailed the state in 10th-grade English, math, and science, but in 2025–2026 it beat the state in all three. Science is the standout, with 10th-grade science at 54.22% proficient versus 40.50% statewide, and Biology End-of-Course at 52.73% versus 37.68%. Math improved sharply too but has the narrowest lead over the state, at 44.19% versus 43.73%.
Other indicators are encouraging. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 94.9%, above the district's 93.1%, and the dropout rate was 3.0%, below the district's 4.0%. The student-teacher ratio is 9.8, and spending per student was $15,102 in 2020–2021. Families should note some limitations: the free/reduced-lunch figure is not reported, the spending data are several years old, and with only 377 students, one-year swings — such as the move in Physics from 24.00% in 2024–2025 to 50.00% in 2025–2026 across different grade groupings — can reflect small numbers. The multi-year rank trend is the most reliable signal.
