Summary

Falmouth High is a public high school located in Falmouth, Massachusetts, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 727. The school is part of the Falmouth school district, which is ranked 190 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Falmouth High has consistently maintained high 4-year graduation rates, ranging from 87.9% to 90.2% over the past few years, which is higher than the nearby schools of Fairhaven High (92.9%), Barnstable High (84.1%), and Wareham Senior High (85.1%). Additionally, Falmouth High has relatively low dropout rates, ranging from 3.8% to 8.4% in recent years, which is lower than the dropout rates of the surrounding schools. The school also consistently outperforms the state average in MCAS Next Generation English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science assessments for 10th-grade students.

However, Falmouth High's performance varies across different student subgroups, and the school's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from 85th out of 285 high schools in 2020-2021 to 180th out of 349 high schools in 2024-2025. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in maintaining its academic performance compared to other high schools in Falmouth and the surrounding region, which includes several other high-performing schools such as Sandwich Middle High School, Old Rochester Regional High, and Martha's Vineyard Regional High.
