Summary

Bristol County Agricultural High is a public high school in Dighton, Massachusetts, serving grades 9–12 with 631 students, and it operates as its own district, Bristol County Agricultural. In 2025–2026 it ranked 139th of 353 Massachusetts high schools (61st percentile, 3 stars), above the state median and a rebound from its 47th-percentile showing in 2023–2024.

Getting students to graduation is a clear strength. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 98.0% with a 1.3% dropout rate, and graduation has been at or above 98% in four of the last five reported years. Science and Biology are the school's academic signature, often beating state proficiency by double digits — for example, 55.33% proficient in 10th-grade Science in 2025–2026 versus the state's 40.5%. Mathematics is the consistent gap: 10th-grade Math proficiency has not exceeded the state rate in the years provided (36.94% versus 43.73% in 2025–2026). English Language Arts has usually been solid but slipped just below the state in 2025–2026 at 43.04%.

Among nearby options, Bristol-Plymouth Vocational Technical edges ahead on graduation (98.4%) and Math (49.23%), while Bristol County Agricultural leads in Science and Biology. Apponequet Regional High has the area's lowest dropout rate (0.6%), and larger comprehensive schools such as Taunton High (91.4% graduation) and B M C Durfee High (83.6%) trail well behind. Class sizes are comparatively small, with an 11.9 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending of $21,284 in 2020–2021 was the highest among the nearby schools listed. Effectiveness for different student groups varies: results for Hispanic and low-income students rank well above the school's overall standing, while male students and white students rank lower in the most recent year.
