High Schools in Fairhaven

Summary:

The Fairhaven High School is the sole high school located in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The school serves grades 9-12 and has a student-teacher ratio of 12:1, slightly lower than the state average. While the school's 4-year graduation rate of 92.9% is slightly above the state average, its dropout rate of 5.1% is also higher than the state's.

Academically, Fairhaven High School has struggled, with proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments consistently below the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school's performance has also declined from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year, with proficiency rates dropping further below the state benchmarks.

While the school's per-student spending of $14,563 is slightly higher than the state average, the lack of data on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to analyze the school's performance in the context of its student population's socioeconomic status. Overall, Fairhaven High School appears to be facing challenges in improving student academic achievement and outcomes, and may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues.
