Summary:
The city of Woburn, Massachusetts is home to a single public high school, Woburn High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively large student population of 1,228, its academic performance has been somewhat underwhelming compared to state averages.
Woburn High School's statewide ranking has fluctuated between 159th and 183rd out of 347-349 high schools in recent years, and it is rated only 1-3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger. The school's four-year graduation rate of 88.6% is slightly below the state average, and its dropout rate of 4.5% is slightly higher. Proficiency rates on MCAS tests in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science/Biology are all below state averages, with the largest gaps in Mathematics.
Despite spending $20,017 per student, which is higher than the state average, Woburn High School is not achieving better outcomes in terms of graduation rates, dropout rates, and test scores. This raises questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation. Without data on the school's free/reduced lunch rates, it's difficult to assess whether there are any equity issues or achievement gaps among different student subgroups.
