Summary

Hingham High is a public high school in Hingham, Massachusetts — a South Shore town roughly 20 miles south of Boston — serving grades 9–12 with 1,066 students as part of Hingham Public Schools, the highest-ranked nearby district at 22nd of 351 statewide (94th percentile, 5 stars). The school ranks 36th of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–2026 (90th percentile, 5 stars), still top-decile though cooled from a peak of 6th statewide in 2020–2021.

Academically, Hingham sits in the top cluster of nearby schools. Its 2025–2026 10th-grade proficiency rates were 76.25% in ELA, 76.89% in Math, 75.31% in Science, and 58.26% on the Biology end-of-course exam — well above state averages and far ahead of Quincy High, Weymouth High School, Rockland Senior High, and South Shore Vocational Technical High. Norwell High is the closest academic peer, outperforming Hingham in ELA and Math while Hingham leads in Science. Hingham's 97.3% graduation rate and 1.1% dropout rate are strong, though marginally behind Norwell High and Cohasset High School. Notably, Hingham spends $14,488 per student — the lowest among nearby schools with reported spending data — and still achieves elite results.

One trend to watch: ELA proficiency has slipped from 88.51% in 2022–2023 to 76.25% in 2025–2026, while Math and Science rebounded in 2025–2026 after a dip. The school also performs well for students in special education and from low-income families, with recent statewide rankings in the top 15% for both groups; results for smaller groups can swing year to year, so single-year changes should be read with caution. Two data caveats: spending figures are from 2020–2021, and some nearby-school comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like.
