of 353 Massachusetts High Schools

Better than 99% of Massachusetts high schools

Summary

Dover-Sherborn Regional High in Dover, MA, is a grade 9–12 public high school serving 610 students in the Dover-Sherborn district, a suburban community west of Boston.

This school is one of Massachusetts’ strongest high schools. In 2025–2026 it ranked #2 of 353 statewide and 99th percentile, while its district ranked 4th of 351. That excellence is not new: it has stayed in the top 12 every recent year shown, with two #1 finishes. In 2024–2025, the graduation rate was 99.4% and the dropout rate was 0.0%. On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 10th-grade proficiency was 87.22% in ELA, 87.97% in math, 83.21% in science, and 86.88% in Biology, all far above state levels. The student-teacher ratio was 9.8, and per-student spending was $21,791 in 2020–2021. Its standout quality is balance: Needham High edges it in ELA and math but trails in science and Biology, while Medfield Senior High beats it in science and Biology but trails in ELA and math. Wellesley Senior High is closer in math and science but trails in ELA by nearly 10 points. No nearby school matches all four core measures at once.

Completion outcomes are exceptional, with the best graduation rate and dropout rate in the nearby comparison group. Enrollment is 610, smaller than several nearby high schools, yet results are top-tier. The 9.8 student-teacher ratio is tied for lowest among nearby schools, and spending is among the highest, but Norfolk County Agricultural has the same ratio and higher spending with much lower outcomes, showing resources alone do not explain success. The school also performs near the top statewide for students with disabilities and low-income students, suggesting broad instructional strength. Watch trends rather than weaknesses: current ELA and science are below the school’s 2024–2025 highs, but both remain far above district and state levels; math is stable. Free/reduced-lunch data are blank in the supplied data, so socioeconomic composition cannot be assessed from those fields.
