Summary

Dracut Senior High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in Dracut, Massachusetts, a suburban community near Lowell, with about 792 students; it is part of the Dracut district. In 2025–2026, the school ranked 228th of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 35th percentile, or 2 stars — slightly below its own district's 40th percentile. That ranking caps a long slide: the school was at the 62nd percentile in 2015–2016 and the 46th percentile in 2020–2021, and its last 3-star rating came in 2018–2019.

Test scores trail the state in every subject. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA proficiency was 34.2% versus 45.48% statewide, math 29.57% versus 43.73% — a 14.16-point gap — science 30.81% versus 40.5%, and end-of-course biology 30.27% versus 37.68%, making math the clearest weakness. Dracut scores above Lowell High in all four subjects and beats Gr Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical in science and biology, but sits below Chelmsford High, Tyngsborough High School, Tewksbury Memorial High, Innovation Academy Charter School, and Gr Lowell Regional Vocational Technical.

In 2024–2025, 90.9% of students graduated and 5.3% dropped out — better than the district's 88.4% and 6.9%, but behind nearby suburban and vocational schools such as Chelmsford High (98.8% graduation, 0.9% dropout) and Tewksbury Memorial High (94.9%, 2.3%). Both measures have eroded since 2021–2022, when graduation was around 96% and dropout 1.7%. Per-student spending was $13,895 in 2020–2021, the lowest among nearby schools, while the student-teacher ratio of 12.8 is mid-range. Subgroup effectiveness ranks are low for low-socioeconomic-status students (26th percentile) and male students (29th percentile), while special education students improved to the 34th percentile in 2025–2026.
