The Saugus school district in Massachusetts has only one high school, Saugus High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past few years, dropping from 186 out of 347 Massachusetts high schools in 2022-2023 to 237 out of 349 in 2024-2025. With a 2 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, Saugus High School is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Academically, Saugus High School's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all subjects, including English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 10th grade English Language Arts, the school had a 37.28% proficiency rate, compared to the state average of 50.66%. These proficiency rates have also declined from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year.

Despite the school's higher-than-average per-student spending of $17,754 and a student-teacher ratio of 13.8, which is slightly higher than the state average, Saugus High School appears to be facing challenges in effectively allocating its resources to support student learning and achievement. The lack of information about the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, a common indicator of socioeconomic status, makes it difficult to fully understand the school's demographic context and how it may be impacting its performance.
