Summary

Quabbin Regional High School is a public regional high school in Barre, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 545 students in the Quabbin district, a small-town area of central Massachusetts with nearby comparables mostly small to mid-sized regional high schools. For 2025–2026, it ranked 177th of 353 schools (50th percentile, 3 stars), stronger than its district’s 248th of 351 districts (29th percentile, 1 star) and second nearby behind Wachusett Regional High (73rd percentile, 4 stars).

In MCAS 2025–2026, Quabbin’s 10th-grade ELA (40.65), math (41.67), and science (33.33) were below state averages (45.48, 43.73, 40.50). Math was second-highest nearby after Wachusett, while ELA was third after David Prouty High (59.62) and Wachusett (58.37). Science was third after Wachusett and Leicester High. Quabbin’s Biology End-of-Course score (43.48) was above the state’s 37.68 and highest nearby, topping Leicester High (39.39), Wachusett (27.27), David Prouty High (23.53), Narragansett Regional High (23.26), Gardner High (22.54), Quaboag Regional High (21.62), Athol High (12.00), and Ware Junior/Senior High School (6.67). Its overall rank rose to the 50th percentile even as ELA and science scores fell from 2024–2025, so the gain reflects relative standing more than an absolute rebound.

Completion is weaker: 2024–2025 graduation was 86.4% and dropout 9.3%, better than the district’s 83.7% and 10.6% and David Prouty High (77.0% graduation, 12.2% dropout), but behind Wachusett (96.0%, 1.9%), Leicester High and Gardner High (both 93.1%, 3.4%), Quaboag Regional High (92.6%, 4.9%), Narragansett Regional High (92.0%, 4.6%), and Ware Junior/Senior High School (89.5%, 5.8%). Quabbin spent $17,290 per student in 2020–2021, more than Wachusett ($14,535) and Leicester High ($14,827) but less than David Prouty High ($17,944); its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio (12.8) was close to Wachusett’s (12.9). Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: low-income students reached the 56th percentile in 2025–2026, male students 54th, and special education 46th in 2024–2025, while overall results remain more variable than the 3-star rank suggests.
