Summary

Chicopee High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts high schools, ranking between 276-304 out of 342-351 schools over the past 10 years. The school has maintained a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger throughout this period, indicating it is performing below average compared to other high schools in the state. Chicopee High's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across all subject areas and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, only 31.25% of 10th graders at Chicopee High were proficient or better in ELA, compared to the state average of 50.66%. In Mathematics, the proficiency rate was just 13.46%, compared to 44.6% statewide.

While Chicopee High's performance is concerning, there are some interesting comparisons to nearby schools. Chicopee Comprehensive High School, another public high school in the Chicopee district, outperforms Chicopee High across several key metrics, including academic performance, graduation rates, and dropout rates. In contrast, the nearby Phoenix Academy Public Charter High School has significantly lower graduation rates and higher dropout rates than Chicopee High. To address the challenges at Chicopee High, the school and district should consider implementing targeted interventions, analyzing the root causes of high dropout rates, and exploring best practices from higher-performing schools in the area.
