Summary:
Haverhill Public Schools educates roughly 7,766 students across 15 schools — eight elementary, three middle, two high, and two alternative programs — and the Haverhill district as a whole ranks 294 out of 351 in Massachusetts, placing it in the 16th percentile with 1 star. Enrollment is concentrated: Haverhill High (1,922 students), Caleb Dustin Hunking School (1,062), and Consentino Middle School (805) together hold about 48.8% of students, while the smallest settings, Greenleaf Academy (34) and Bartlett School and Assessment Center (45), serve only a few dozen each.
The clearest bright spots are in elementary math. Bradford Elementary ranks in the 46th percentile with 2 stars, up sharply from the 27th percentile two years earlier, and its math proficiency of 45.36% beats both the state (41.11%) and the district (29.27%). Caleb Dustin Hunking School, the largest K-8, sits at 41.15% in math — essentially tied with the state — and posts the strongest science results in the district. Walnut Square shows the highest all-grade ELA and math in the file (42.11% in both), though it is a small K-3 school of 161 students with no rank history. Consentino Middle School improved from the 29th to the 40th percentile.
Other schools lag. Dr Paul Nettle is the weakest traditional middle school, dropping from the 27th to the 17th percentile, with all-grade math at just 16.56%. Haverhill High ranks in the 25th percentile with 1 star and 10th-grade proficiency well below state levels, though its graduation rate (88.4%) and dropout rate (7.7%) are close to district norms. Gateway Academy ranks 352 of 353 with 0 stars. Bartlett School and Assessment Center and Greenleaf Academy spend far more per student ($51,492 and $40,115) yet serve specialized populations, so they are not directly comparable. Free and reduced-lunch data is missing for every school, and spending figures date to 2020-2021.
