Summary

Agawam High is a public high school in Agawam, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 1,025 students as part of the Agawam district in the Springfield area of western Massachusetts. The district ranks 207 of 351 Massachusetts districts (41st percentile, 2 stars), and the school itself ranks 193 of 353 in 2025–2026 (45th percentile, 2 stars). That is a meaningful climb: Agawam High sat at the 35th percentile in 2015–2016, moved into the 45th–53rd percentile range in recent years, peaked at 3 stars in 2024–2025, then slipped back to 2 stars in 2025–2026.

Completion is a relative strength. The 2024–2025 graduation rate rose to 93.6%, the highest in the five-year span provided, while the dropout rate fell to 4.3%, the lowest. The student-teacher ratio improved to 10.9 in 2024–2025, from 13.1 the year before. Per-student spending was $18,452 in 2020–2021 — more than Longmeadow High ($15,971) and West Springfield High ($15,030) — and its staffing ratio is similar to Longmeadow's (11.2) and better than West Springfield's (13.0). Even so, results do not match Longmeadow's 97.4% graduation rate and 0.4% dropout rate, suggesting resources alone do not explain the differences.

Academically the picture is uneven. On 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS, ELA was 43.56% against the state's 45.48%, math 32.13% against 43.73%, and science 34.40% against 40.50%. Longmeadow is far ahead in every subject; West Springfield is lower in ELA (33.58%) but higher in math (34.75%) and science (41.57%), while High School Of Commerce trails in ELA and science but edges ahead in math. Libertas Academy Charter School posts higher 10th-grade ELA (53.33%), math (38.67%), and biology scores, but a much lower graduation rate (85.1%) and higher dropout rate (13.4%). Agawam's effectiveness rank for low-income students (53rd percentile) sits above its overall 45th percentile.
