Summary

Lee Middle/High School is a public school in Lee, MA, serving 328 students in grades 7–12 as part of the Lee district in western Massachusetts. The school is ranked 140th of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–2026 (60th percentile, 3 stars), placing it above the district's overall rank. Its history shows real improvement: through the mid-to-late 2010s it sat mostly in the 33rd–45th percentile with 2 stars, then rose to the 50th percentile in 2022–2023 and peaked at the 83rd percentile with 4 stars in 2023–2024. The current position is still well above its older baseline, though below that high point.

Graduation and dropout are Lee's standout strengths. In 2024–2025 the school posted a 98.2% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate — stronger than every comparable nearby comprehensive high school, including Lenox Memorial High and Wahconah Regional High at 95.0% graduation and roughly 3.3% dropout, and far ahead of Pittsfield High (78.8% graduation, 11.4% dropout). Test scores are more mixed. All-grade proficiency is below state in ELA and math, but that average hides a split: 10th-grade ELA is 48.21% and 10th-grade math is 53.57%, both above state, while 7th-grade math is just 15.79% versus 37.48% statewide. Middle school is the clearest academic drag.

Lee also stands out for its results with low-income students, who have earned 4 stars in each of the last three reported years (74th percentile in 2025–2026). Special education students improved from 2 stars to 3 stars. Spending is mid-pack at $20,613 per student (2020–2021), with a 9.1 student-teacher ratio. Regionally, Lenox Memorial High is the academic leader, while Lee sits in the same tier as Monument Mt Regional High, Wahconah Regional High, and Mt Everett Regional, ahead of Gateway Regional School, Pittsfield High, and Taconic High.
