Summary
Everett High is a public high school in Everett, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 2,307 students—the largest school in this nearby comparison group—and is part of the Everett district, which ranks 319th of 351 statewide (9th percentile, 0 stars). The school itself ranked 290th of 353 in 2025–26 (18th percentile, 1 star), and its history shows a persistent spot in the bottom fifth of Massachusetts high schools, with percentiles between 13 and 22 since 2015–16. Graduation rate is 78.7%, dropout rate 13.6%, student-teacher ratio 12.1, and per-student spending was $16,199 in 2020–21.
Proficiency results trail state averages sharply in most subjects: ELA 10th grade 31.03%, Math 22.44%, Science 15.46%, and Biology 15.95%—roughly 14 to 25 points below the state. Physics is the clear exception at 47.06%, above both the district (42.11%) and the state (46.58%). Compared with nearby schools, Everett sits in the lower-middle of this urban group: it trails Malden High, Somerville High, and Excel Academy Charter School across most measures, but outperforms Chelsea High, Charlestown High School, and Phoenix Academy Charter Public High School Chelsea. Results are mixed against Revere High (higher in ELA and Math, lower in Science and Biology) and East Boston High School.
Completion trends are a concern. Graduation fell from 85.1% in 2020–21 to 78.7% in 2024–25, while dropout rose from 10.2% to 13.6%—nearly identical to district figures, so this is a district-wide pattern rather than a school-specific one. There are bright spots: English Language Learner students rank in the 60th percentile and Special Education students in the 46th percentile statewide, both well above the school's overall 18th percentile. Resources are moderate, and Malden High shows stronger outcomes with lower spending ($14,949) and a larger student-teacher ratio (16). Free/reduced lunch data is not reported here, so economic context comes from subgroup rankings instead.
