Summary

Beverly High is a comprehensive 9–12 school at 100 Sohier Rd in Beverly, Massachusetts, a North Shore community about 20 miles north of Boston, serving 1,213 students — one of the larger high schools in its immediate area. For 2025-2026 it ranks 143rd of 353 Massachusetts high schools (59th percentile, 3 stars), its best showing in a decade and up from the 49th percentile in 2021-2022. One thing worth knowing: the Beverly district as a whole ranks in the 75th percentile with 4 stars — 16 percentile points above its own high school, which suggests the elementary and middle grades are performing measurably better relative to their peers than the high school is.

Beverly High delivers middle-of-the-pack results on the leanest budget around. Its $15,302 per-pupil spending is the lowest of any comparison school — roughly $3,000 below Marblehead High and about $7,200 less than Salem High, which it outranks by 15 percentile points. It also runs the second-highest student-teacher ratio in the group (12.2), behind only Essex North Shore Agricultural and Technical School. Its closest rank peers are Essex North Shore and Danvers High, and within that trio Beverly has the strongest Biology results and the smallest budget.

On the 2025-2026 10th grade MCAS, Beverly ran slightly above the state in Math and Science and slightly below in English Language Arts. Biology is the clear standout at 45.87% proficient, 8.19 points above the state. Two trends are worth watching: the dropout rate has climbed from 1.6% to 4.0% over four years — the third-highest locally — while graduation slipped from a 94.4% peak to 92.3%; and special education students now rank in the 36th percentile, the school's lowest subgroup. On the encouraging side, low-income students improved from the 32nd to the 47th percentile in just two years, faster than the student body overall.
