Summary

Andover High in Andover, MA, is a grades 9-12 comprehensive high school with 1,609 students in the Merrimack Valley north of Boston, part of the Andover district. The district is 5-star and ranked 36th of 351 statewide, while the high school is 4-star and ranked 57th of 353 high schools in 2025-2026 (84th percentile). That was a modest slip from 41st of 349 in 2024-2025 but still within its long-running top-quartile pattern. Its 2024-2025 graduation rate was 99.5%, dropout rate 0.2%, student-teacher ratio 12.8, and per-student spending was $17,743 in 2020-2021.

Compared with nearby comprehensive high schools, Andover High's clearest academic strength is 10th-grade math: 73.77% proficient, 30.04 percentage points above the state and higher than North Reading High, North Andover High, Tewksbury Memorial High, Methuen High, and Lawrence High School. ELA is also strong at 62.37% proficient, 16.89 points above the state and narrowly ahead of North Reading High, while 10th-grade Science is 57.75% proficient, well above the state but behind North Reading High's 68.79%. North Reading High is the closest peer: it has a lower student-teacher ratio (10.1) and spends more per student ($19,065), but Andover High leads in math and has a slightly higher graduation rate and lower dropout rate.

Graduation and dropout outcomes are elite: Andover High's 99.5% graduation rate ties Gr Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical but with a lower dropout rate (0.2% vs. 0.5%). Subgroup performance is generally effective, including a rise for special education students to the 87th percentile in 2025-2026 and low-SES students at the 71st percentile, though some subgroup results have fluctuated and are worth monitoring. Science results are uneven by subject: Physics is a clear strength (64.33% proficient vs. the state's 46.58%), while Biology was below the state in 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 and was not reported for 2025-2026. Nearby alternative and therapeutic schools have different missions and should not be read as direct comparisons.
