Summary:
Northboro-Southboro, MA is a district with just one listed school — Algonquin Regional High, a grades 9–12 high school in Northborough serving 1,197 students — and it contains no elementary, middle, or alternative schools for comparison. Because there is only one school, district-level results for Northboro-Southboro and school-level results for Algonquin are identical. The district ranks 27th out of 351 districts statewide, the 92nd percentile with 5 stars, and Algonquin's own rank history places it around the top 10% of Massachusetts high schools: 37th of 353 (90th percentile, 4 stars) in 2025–2026, 36th of 349 (90th percentile, 4 stars) in 2024–2025, and 21st of 348 (94th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024.
In 2024–2025, the school posted a 98.3% graduation rate and a 0.7% dropout rate, both slightly better than the district's 97.7% and 1.0%. MCAS Next Generation proficiency sits well above state averages in every reported subject and year. In 2025–2026, 10th graders reached 70.57% proficiency in English Language Arts versus 45.48% statewide, 73.05% in Mathematics versus 43.73%, and 67.47% in Science versus 40.50%; Biology End of Course proficiency was 71.53% against a state figure of 37.68%, the widest gap in the data.
Year-over-year 10th grade results are mixed: ELA fell from 78.01% to 70.57% and Science from 79.29% to 67.47%, while Math rose from 70.59% to 73.05%. The state also declined in ELA and Science, but Algonquin's Science drop was steeper, narrowing its advantage there. Parents should note some data gaps: free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed; per-student spending of $19,074 is from 2020–2021; and the favorable 10.8 student-teacher ratio has no state or peer benchmark here. Overall, Algonquin is a very strong school by every available measure.
