Summary:
West Boylston has just one high school, West Boylston Junior/Senior High, a combined junior/senior high serving grades 6–12 with 461 students in the West Boylston district, which ranks 79th of 351 districts (4 stars). Because the school spans middle and high school grades, its “All Grades” results blend grades 6–8 with high school, so 10th-grade scores are the clearest high-school-level signal.
The school improved sharply in 2025–2026, ranking 68th of 353 (81st percentile, 4 stars), up from 130th of 349 (63rd percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, and above its 2023–2024 rank of 96th of 348. Math and science are clear strengths: in 2025–2026, Mathematics All Grades was 58.02% versus the state’s 41.11% (+16.91 points), Science All Grades was 59.72% versus 40.98% (+18.74 points), and Physics End of Course was +14.78 points above state. Tenth-grade results were especially strong, with ELA at 67.24% versus 45.48% (+21.76 points) and Mathematics at 68.97% versus 43.73% (+25.24 points). The main reported below-state result is 6th-grade ELA at 38.81% versus 40.26% (-1.45 points), which helps explain why All Grades ELA (44.08%) trails the 10th-grade figure. ELA All Grades declined from 50.48% to 44.08%, while Science All Grades rose from 45.16% to 59.72%.
Graduation and dropout outcomes are excellent: 100.0% graduation and 0.0% dropout in 2024–2025, though the graduating class is likely small given the school’s 461 students across grades 6–12, so year-to-year stability should be interpreted with caution. The student-teacher ratio of 10.6 in 2024–2025 suggests relatively small classes or strong staffing. Per-student spending is $15,300 for 2020–2021, the only spending figure in the record, so it is difficult to benchmark. Free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so it should not be treated as zero or used as socioeconomic context.
