Summary

Apponequet Regional High is a grades 9–12 regional high school in Lakeville, MA, serving about 640 students as part of the Freetown-Lakeville district in southeastern Massachusetts. In 2025–2026 it ranked 95th of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 73rd percentile with 4 stars — which is stronger than its own district's rank of 124th of 351 (65th percentile, 3 stars).

Apponequet's overall academic profile is the best among nearby conventional high schools. Its 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS results beat both district and state averages in every reported subject: ELA 54.42% (state 45.48%), Math 51.39% (state 43.73%), Science 49.28% (state 40.50%), and Biology 54.40% (state 37.68%). It posted the highest ELA and Math proficiency in the local group, ahead of Somerset Berkley Regional High School, Bristol-Plymouth Vocational Technical, Middleborough High, Taunton High, and B M C Durfee High. Graduation and dropout numbers are excellent: a 97.1% graduation rate and 0.6% dropout rate, with only some vocational schools such as Old Colony Regional Vocational Technical and Bristol County Agricultural High slightly ahead on graduation. Its student-teacher ratio of 10.8 is second-lowest locally, and its per-student spending of $15,361 (2020–2021) is among the lowest of the peer group — suggesting efficient use of resources.

Two things for parents to watch. First, the school has cooled from a 2023–2024 peak, when it reached the 83rd percentile with ELA at 76.51% and Math at 66.27%; Science in particular fell from 69.06% in 2024–2025 to 49.28% in 2025–2026, though all results remain above state and district averages. Second, subgroup effectiveness rankings are uneven: Special Education Students have consistently ranked in the bottom quartile at 1 star, and Low Socio Economic Status and Female Student rankings have slipped recently. These are the clearest areas to monitor.
