Summary

Billerica Memorial High School is a public school at 35 River Street in Billerica, Massachusetts, serving grades 8–12 with about 1,816 students, making it one of the larger high schools in the suburban area northwest of Boston.

For 2025–2026, Billerica Memorial High School ranks 123rd of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 65th percentile with 3 stars — which is higher than the 50th-percentile standing of the Billerica district, suggesting the high school is a relative strength locally. Outcomes are strong: a 97.4% graduation rate and a 1.6% dropout rate, both better than the district and better than Burlington High, Tewksbury Memorial High, and Lowell High. Science is the clearest academic strength, with 10th-grade science at 54.86% proficient versus 40.5% statewide. Among nearby comprehensive high schools, Billerica sits below Bedford High, Chelmsford High, Wilmington High, and Burlington High in overall rank, but above Tewksbury Memorial High, Shawsheen Valley Vocational Technical High School, and Lowell High.

Mathematics is the main gap: 10th-grade math is 41.86% proficient, below the state's 43.73%, and all-grades math is 37.16%, below both district and state — though it rose sharply from 20.97% the year before. ELA is close to state and district averages. One important caveat: Billerica is the only school in this nearby group serving grade 8, so 10th-grade results are the fairest comparison. The school spent $17,599 per student in 2020–2021 with a 14.0 student-teacher ratio — less spending than Bedford, Burlington, Wilmington, and Shawsheen, but more than Chelmsford.
