High Schools in Waltham

The Waltham Senior High is the sole high school located in Waltham, Massachusetts. The school has seen fluctuating performance in recent years, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and a ranking of 243 out of 349 Massachusetts high schools for the 2024-2025 school year.

Waltham Senior High's academic performance is a concern, with proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments lower than the state averages in all subjects tested. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 80.8% and dropout rate of 10.1% are also areas that need improvement. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $22,250, its academic outcomes have declined from the 2023-2024 school year to the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting the need for targeted interventions and strategies to support student learning and achievement.

Without data on the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates, it is difficult to fully understand the demographic and socioeconomic context of the student population. However, the available information indicates that Waltham Senior High faces challenges in ensuring its students successfully complete their high school education and achieve proficiency in core academic subjects.
