Summary

Oliver Ames High is a four-star, grade 9–12 comprehensive high school serving 1,045 students as the only high school in the Easton district in the suburban town of North Easton, MA. In 2025-2026 it ranked 82nd of 353 Massachusetts high schools (77th percentile), and it has held a 4-star rating for eight consecutive years.

Test scores sit well above state averages: in 10th-grade MCAS, 60.26% of students were proficient in English Language Arts, 59.23% in math, and 57.47% in science — roughly 15–17 points above the state in each. Physics is the outlier, at only 2.6 points above the state. Among nearby schools, Sharon High (92nd percentile) outperforms Oliver Ames in every tested subject, but Oliver Ames beats Mansfield High in ELA and science, and outperforms Stoughton High and West Bridgewater Junior/Senior by wide margins. Note the 2025-2026 dip: ELA and math fell roughly 9–13 points against the school's own recent baseline, though the district and state declined over the same window, which points to a cohort or assessment effect rather than a change in school quality. It is still the trend to watch.

Completion outcomes are the school's strongest numbers: a 98.6% graduation rate and 0.3% dropout rate lead every nearby comprehensive high school, and edge out both Sharon and Mansfield. Oliver Ames also produces these results at $14,865 per pupil — the second-lowest among comparable neighbors, and thousands less than Mansfield or Sharon. Subgroup effectiveness rankings are a genuine strength in most cases, with African American students in the 87th–89th percentile for three straight years and Special Education students rising from the 52nd to the 73rd percentile. The student-teacher ratio is 12.6, slightly higher than Mansfield's 11.0.
