Summary:
Maynard, Massachusetts is served by a single public high school: Maynard High, which enrolls 310 students in grades 9–12 at 1 Tiger Drive, Maynard, MA 01754, and belongs to the Maynard district. With only one high school in the area, the most useful comparisons for parents are between Maynard High and its own district and state benchmarks.
Maynard High is a strong performer. In 2025–2026 it ranked 58th out of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 84th percentile, with 4 stars — well above the Maynard district's listed rank of 160th of 351 (54th percentile, 3 stars). It scored above both the district and the state on every reported MCAS Next Generation proficiency measure. English Language Arts is the standout: 78.21% proficient in 10th grade, versus 77.22% in the district and 45.48% statewide, a gap of 32.73 percentage points over the state. Math came in at 62.34%, science at 57.89%, and end-of-course physics at 58.90%, each above state averages. The school also improved sharply from 2024–2025: ELA climbed from 58.46% to 78.21% (a 19.75-point gain) and math from 50.77% to 62.34% (an 11.57-point gain), while state scores dipped slightly.
Other measures are closer to district norms. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 91.5% versus 91.8% for the district, and the dropout rate was 7.3% versus 7.1%. The student-teacher ratio is 9.6, reflecting a small school that may allow more personalized instruction. Per-student spending is listed at $20,975, but that figure is from 2020–2021 and is older than most other data here. Free/reduced lunch information for 2024–2025 is blank, so the school's socioeconomic context is unknown rather than zero. Note too that physics is reported as "All Grades" in 2024–2025 and "End of Course" in 2025–2026, so that year-over-year change should be read cautiously.
