Summary

Douglas High School is a small public high school in Douglas, Massachusetts, serving grades 9–12 with 267 students as part of the Douglas school district, and it ranks 208 of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–2026 (41st percentile, 2 stars), placing it in the lower-middle of nearby high schools.

Its clearest strengths are structural and completion-related. The student-teacher ratio is 7.2 — lower than every nearby regular high school, which range from 10.1 at Hopedale Junior Senior High to 13.5 at Blackstone Millville Regional High School. The graduation rate is 98.5% with a 0.0% dropout rate, among the best in the comparison group and far above Northbridge High (85.8% graduation, 11.3% dropout) and Bartlett High School (79.6%, 9.7%). Biology End-of-Course proficiency is 41.27%, above the state's 37.68% and above most nearby schools with comparable data.

The concern is core academics. In 2025–2026 10th grade MCAS, Douglas scored 34.48% proficient in ELA, 29.31% in math, and 28.57% in science — all below state averages (45.48, 43.73, 40.50) and below Nipmuc Regional High, Sutton High School, Hopedale Junior Senior High, Blackstone Valley, and Uxbridge High. These scores have fallen sharply: 10th grade ELA was 63.24 in 2023–2024 and 34.48 in 2025–2026, tracking a rank decline from 69th percentile in 2021–2022 to 41st percentile. Per-student spending of $18,502 (2020–2021) is above several higher-performing neighbors, so resources alone don't explain the gap. Subgroup results are uneven, with special education students ranking above the school overall while low-income students fell from 79th percentile in 2023–2024 to 31st in 2025–2026. Small cohorts can make yearly results volatile.
