Summary

Amesbury Innovation High School is a small public high school in Amesbury, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 50 students as part of the Amesbury district. It ranks 345 of 353 statewide in 2025–2026 (2nd percentile, 0 stars), near the bottom of Massachusetts high schools that year, while the district overall ranks 245 of 351. Its same-town, same-district peer, Amesbury High, is much larger at 481 students and ranks 116 of 353 (67th percentile, 3 stars). Other nearby comparison schools include Newburyport High, Ipswich High, Pentucket Regional Senior High, Triton Regional High School, and Gateway Academy. One important caveat: with only 50 students, year-to-year percentages swing sharply, and free/reduced-lunch data are not provided, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed here.

In 2025–2026, Amesbury Innovation reported 0% proficient in both 10th-grade ELA and 10th-grade Math, and 10% in Biology End of Course, while the district and state were around 43–45% proficient in ELA and Math and roughly 37.68%–42.59% in Biology. Earlier years were also far below district and state: 23.08% ELA and 25% Math in 2023–2024, and 8.33% in both in 2022–2023. Even Haverhill High, another lower-performing nearby school, reports 28.86% ELA and 25.33% Math. At the same time, the school has the lowest student-teacher ratio among the compared schools (8.6 in 2024–2025) and the highest per-student spending ($23,081 in 2020–2021), a striking mismatch between resources and outcomes.

Graduation and dropout have been unusually volatile: graduation fell to 37.5% in 2022–2023 alongside a 37.5% dropout rate, then recovered to 80.0% in 2023–2024 and 82.4% in 2024–2025, when dropout dropped to 0.0% — slightly better than the district's 82.1% graduation and 0.7% dropout. Gateway Academy is the closest profile peer, with a similar rank of 352/353 but a 7.1% dropout rate. For parents, the key watch items are whether test-score performance improves and whether the recent graduation and dropout gains hold, since outcomes at a school this small can shift dramatically from year to year.
