Summary:
High schools in Hingham, Massachusetts, come down to a single school: Hingham High, a grades 9–12 campus at 17 Union Street with 1,066 students, part of the Hingham district. It is a top-decile performer statewide, and its district ranks even higher in relative terms, sitting 22nd of 351 districts (94th percentile, 5 stars) compared with the school's 36th of 353 high schools (90th percentile, 5 stars).
Ranking history shows a rebound: Hingham High placed 32nd of 348 with 5 stars in 2023–2024, slipped to 45th of 349 with 4 stars in 2024–2025, then returned to 36th of 353 with 5 stars in 2025–2026. Graduation and dropout outcomes for 2024–2025 are strong — a 97.3% graduation rate versus the district's 94.9%, and a 1.1% dropout rate versus 1.5%. Test proficiency is the school's most striking strength: every reported MCAS Next Generation figure is well above the state, with gaps ranging from +20.58 percentage points in Biology (End of Course) to +38.06 percentage points in Biology (All Grades, 2024–2025).
Year over year, 10th-grade math rose 9.27 percentage points to 76.89% and 10th-grade science rose 4.53 points to 75.31%, both while statewide proficiency in those subjects declined. English language arts fell 4.57 points to 76.25%, mirroring district and state declines, and remained 30.77 points above the state. Notably, the school's scores track the district's closely — never more than 1.40 points apart — suggesting broad, consistent strength. Two caveats: free/reduced lunch data is blank and should be treated as unavailable, and per-student spending ($14,488) dates to 2020–2021.
