Summary
Easthampton High is a 9–12 public high school in Easthampton, MA, serving 377 students as part of the Easthampton district. While the district ranks 201st of 351 districts statewide (43rd percentile, 2 stars), the school itself ranked 115th of 353 high schools in 2025–2026 (67th percentile, 3 stars) — notably higher than its district's overall standing. That is a sharp recent upswing from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024 and 37th in 2024–2025, though earlier years swung widely between roughly the 30th and 57th percentiles, so a single strong year should be read with some caution at a school this size.
On 2025–2026 MCAS testing, Easthampton scored above both its district and the state in every reported high school subject. Science is its clear standout: 10th-grade science was 54.22% proficient against the state's 40.5%, and Biology end-of-course was 52.73% versus 37.68% statewide. That places Easthampton ahead of nearly every nearby school except Northampton High (77.61%) and Hampden Charter School of Science (60.17%). ELA (48.84%) and math (44.19%) are solidly above the state averages (45.48% and 43.73%) but mid-pack locally, trailing Northampton, Hampden Charter, and Hopkins Academy, while leading Chicopee Comprehensive High School, Hampshire Regional High, Holyoke High, Smith Vocational and Agricultural High, and South Hadley High.
Outcomes are trending positively: graduation rose to 94.9% (from 88.4% in 2021–2022) and dropout fell to 3.0% (from 6.3%), though the best nearby results, such as Hampshire Regional's 97.9% graduation and 1.0% dropout, remain higher. The student-teacher ratio of 9.8 is smaller than Northampton's 14.6, Holyoke's 12.5, and Hampden Charter's 12.2. Available per-student spending was $15,102 in 2020–2021 — modest compared with Hampshire Regional, Smith Vocational, Holyoke, and Chicopee, and close to Northampton and South Hadley, though those figures are older than the achievement data. Subgroup effectiveness improved broadly in 2025–2026, with male, female, and low-income student rankings all rising sharply (low-income from the 17th to the 67th percentile) and special education holding near the 50th percentile. Note that free/reduced lunch data were unavailable, so poverty comparisons across schools are not possible here.
