Summary:
Natick, Massachusetts has one public high school in this data set: Natick High, serving grades 9–12 with 1,761 students at 15 West Street. Because Natick has only one high school here, there is no cross-town comparison to make — the most useful comparisons are between Natick High and its own district and the state as a whole.
The Natick district ranks 45th of 351 in Massachusetts (87th percentile, 4 stars), and Natick High's own rank has climbed from 57th of 348 in 2023–2024 to 41st of 353 in 2025–2026, holding 4 stars throughout. Its 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation proficiency rates were 68.87% in 10th-grade English language arts, 73.47% in mathematics, 72.7% in science, and 66.05% in end-of-course physics — all far above the state, by roughly 19 to 32 percentage points. Scores sit only slightly above the district's own averages, which suggests a strong district overall rather than an isolated advantage. The graduation rate is 96.6% (district 94.9%) and the dropout rate is 2.1% (district 2.3%).
Year over year, mathematics improved (71.09% to 73.47%), while ELA slipped a little (71.09% to 68.87%) and science fell from 78.64% to 72.7%; all three remain well above state averages. The physics figures for the two years cover different grade groupings, so they should not be compared directly. The student-teacher ratio is 12.5, and per-student spending was $16,485 in 2020–2021 — descriptive context only, since no comparison figures are provided. The free/reduced lunch percentage is blank, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed from this data set.
