Summary

Hull High is a small public school in the coastal South Shore town of Hull, MA, serving grades 8–12 with 278 students as part of the Hull district. It currently ranks 101st of 353 high schools statewide—71st percentile, 4 stars—a rebound from 3-star, 55th-percentile showings in 2023–24 and 2024–25. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 96.8%, up 6.3 points over five years, close to Hingham High’s 97.3%, and clearly above nearby Boston and Revere schools.

Academically, grade 10 English language arts is a standout: 67.35% proficiency, above the state’s 45.48% and second among nearby schools only to Hingham High. Grade 10 science is also above state at 52.08%. Math is more uneven: grade 10 math is 44.90%, only slightly above the state’s 43.73%, and behind Hingham High, North Quincy High, Winthrop High School, and Boston Collegiate Charter School. Grade 8 math is 29.09%, well below the state’s 41.67%, and grade 8 civics is 32.73% versus 39.77% statewide. Because Hull High includes grade 8, all-grade math of 29.09% can make the school look weaker than its high-school grades alone.

Compared with nearby schools, the school spends more and has smaller classes: a student-teacher ratio of 8.8 versus 12.8 at Hingham High and 15.5 at North Quincy High, and per-student spending of $24,966 versus $14,488 at Hingham High and $14,401 at Winthrop High School. Even so, Hingham High achieves higher test scores. Overall, Hull High is stronger than the Boston and Revere urban schools, competitive with Quincy High and Winthrop High School, behind Hingham High, and mixed against North Quincy High: better in grade 10 ELA, lower in math and science. Subgroup results show 2025–26 gains for low-income and male students, but special education effectiveness fell to 46th percentile with 2 stars, and female students slipped to 3 stars. With only 278 students, year-to-year rates can be volatile, so families should watch math and equity trends over time.
