Summary

Danvers High is a 9–12 comprehensive high school on Cabot Road in Danvers, Massachusetts, serving 784 students — a mid-sized school for the area, larger than Lynnfield High (588) and Hamilton-Wenham Regional High (448), but smaller than Masconomet Regional High School (924), Beverly High (1,213) and Peabody Veterans Memorial High (1,333). It ranks 154th of 353 Massachusetts high schools (56th percentile, 3 stars), while the Danvers district sits at the 37th percentile — the high school compares more favorably against peer high schools than the district does overall.

Its clearest strengths are completion and science. Graduation is 95.7% with a 2.7% dropout rate, above the district's 92.3% and 3.1% and ahead of Beverly High (92.3%) and Peabody Veterans Memorial High (90.7%). Science proficiency is 48.31 against a state figure of 40.50, and Biology end-of-course is 47.73 versus 37.68 statewide — more than 10 points above. That ordering is unusual: here science outruns English language arts by roughly 10 points, the reverse of most nearby schools. ELA (38.62 vs. 45.48 statewide) and math (34.92 vs. 43.73) fall below state levels; math has trailed the state every year on record, and ELA slid from 57.14 to 38.62 over two years — a steeper drop than the state's.

Locally, Danvers sits below Hamilton-Wenham Regional High, Lynnfield High and Masconomet Regional High School, but above Beverly High, Salem High and Peabody Veterans Memorial High. It spends the second-least per student ($17,742) yet keeps classes among the smallest (10.2 students per teacher). Two subgroup patterns persist: female students rank well above male students (66th vs. 40th percentile), and low-income students sit at the 31st percentile.
