Summary:
Weymouth, Massachusetts is home to a single high school, Weymouth High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 153rd out of 348 schools in 2023-2024 to 207th out of 349 schools in 2024-2025, earning a 2-star rating out of 5.
Weymouth High School's academic achievement is mixed, with proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments that are both above and below the state averages. In 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates were below the state in English Language Arts (50.51% vs. 50.66%), Mathematics (30.71% vs. 44.6%), and Science (40.71% vs. 45.89%), while in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were higher than the state in English Language Arts (65.9% vs. 56.86%) and Science (55.93% vs. 49.26%), but lower in Mathematics (43.4% vs. 48.47%). The school's 4-year graduation rate for 2023-2024 was 89.5%, slightly above the state average, but its dropout rate for the same year was 6.3%, slightly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,276 for 2020-2021, which is above the state average, its academic performance is not consistently above the state average. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation. Additionally, the lack of information about the school's free and reduced-price lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic diversity and potential equity issues within the school.
