Summary

Brockton High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Brockton, Massachusetts, with 3,598 students — by far the largest school in its area, and roughly twice the size of the next-largest nearby school. It sits in the Brockton district, which ranks 329th of 351 districts statewide (6th percentile, 0 stars), and the school itself ranked 315th of 353 schools in 2025–2026 (11th percentile, 1 star). That low ranking is not new: since 2016–2017, Brockton High has generally stayed between the 11th and 17th percentile.

Within its own district, Brockton High is a relative anchor. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 84.3% is well above the district's 75.4%, and its 7.5% dropout rate is below the district's 11.6%. It also outperforms same-district options such as Champion High School, Brockton Virtual Learning Academy, and Edison Evening Academy. Compared with nearby schools, though, the gaps are wide: East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School, West Bridgewater Junior/Senior, Oliver Ames High, Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical, and New Heights Charter School of Brockton all graduate between 96% and 99.5% of students, with dropout rates under 2.1%. MCAS results follow a similar pattern: in 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA proficiency was 19.68% — less than half the state rate — while math and science were roughly one-third of state levels. Physics is a real bright spot at 51.67%, above the state's 46.58%.

Most MCAS trends are heading the wrong way — 10th-grade ELA fell from 38.01% in 2023–2024 to 19.68% in 2025–2026, and biology dropped sharply too. Effectiveness rankings are low for most student groups, though English Language Learner students and homeless students have posted stronger results in some years; both are volatile. The student-teacher ratio rose from 14.6 in 2022–2023 to 17.0 in 2024–2025, higher than most nearby schools, and per-student spending was $16,235 in 2020–2021 — more than the East Bridgewater, West Bridgewater, and Oliver Ames schools spend despite their stronger outcomes.
