Summary:
Lunenburg, Massachusetts has one public high school in this data set: Lunenburg High, which serves grades 9–12 with an enrollment of 452 students and is part of the Lunenburg district. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no local peer schools to compare it against, so the most useful benchmarks are how it performs against its own district averages, against Massachusetts statewide averages, and over time.
Lunenburg High's outcomes for students are strong in several respects. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 97.0% (district: 96.0%), and the reported dropout rate was 3.0% for both the school and the district. The student-teacher ratio was a favorable 12.3 students per teacher. In 2025–2026, 10th graders outperformed the state in English Language Arts (49.06% proficient vs. 45.48% statewide) and Mathematics (47.12% vs. 43.73%). The school ranked 155th of 353 schools, in the 56th percentile with 3 stars, placing it above the state median.
The areas to watch involve science and a downward trend. Tenth grade Science proficiency fell from 45.63% in 2024–2025 to 34.02% in 2025–2026, dropping the school from roughly even with the state to 6.48 points below the state's 40.50%. The district's science score (33.67%) was also below the state, so this is not isolated to the high school. Rankings have slipped from 98th of 348 (72nd percentile, 4 stars) in 2023–2024 to 129th (63rd percentile, 3 stars) and then 155th (56th percentile, 3 stars), with ELA and math advantages over the state narrowing as well. Two data gaps limit context: the free/reduced lunch figure is blank and should be treated as unknown, and per-student spending of $15,432 comes from 2020–2021, so it is not current.
