High Schools in Hamilton-Wenham

Hamilton-Wenham has one listed high school, Hamilton-Wenham Regional High, serving grades 9–12 with 448 students at 775 Bay Rd in South Hamilton, MA, as part of the Hamilton-Wenham district.

The school is a standout on nearly every measure in this data. It holds a 5-star rating, matching the Hamilton-Wenham district's own 5-star rating, and ranks 26th of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–2026 — the 93rd percentile. That is an improvement from 35th of 348 in 2023–2024 and 29th of 349 in 2024–2025, a gain of 9 positions over two years while holding 5 stars throughout. The district ranks 32nd of 351 districts, in the 91st percentile. Completion outcomes are excellent: a 100.0% graduation rate for 2024–2025, above the district's 97.3%, and a 0.0% dropout rate, matching the district. The student-teacher ratio is 11.8:1, which works out to roughly 38 teachers or instructional staff across 448 students. Per-student spending was $19,205 in 2020–2021, though that figure is several years old.

Academically, proficiency is far above state averages in every reported subject. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA was 71.55% (state 45.48%), Mathematics 70.69% (state 43.73%), Science 78.38% (state 40.50%), and Biology End of Course 86.96% (state 37.68%) — about 49 points above state in Biology, the school's strongest advantage. Science improved year over year, from 75.45% to 78.38%, widening its gap over the state. ELA and Mathematics dipped from the prior year (81.58% and 74.56%) but remain roughly 26–27 points above state, and such single-year changes may reflect cohort differences rather than a sustained decline. The school also edges out its district in every current subject. Note that the two Biology figures cover different populations — End of Course versus All Grades — so they are not directly comparable. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported here, so economic context cannot be assessed.
