Summary

Maynard High is a small public high school serving grades 9–12 in Maynard, Massachusetts, with 310 students in a town setting west of Boston. In 2025–2026 it ranked 58th of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 84th percentile, with a 4-star rating — which is notably stronger than its district overall: the Maynard district ranks 160th of 351 (54th percentile, 3 stars). This is a school on a long upward climb. In 2015–2016, Maynard High sat at 242nd of 351 (31st percentile, 2 stars), and after some ups and downs — including 108th of 349 in 2024–2025 — it reached its strongest recent showing in 2025–2026.

English language arts is the standout strength. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA proficiency was 78.21%, far above the state average of 45.48% and higher than several neighbors that outrank Maynard overall, including Wayland High School (74.74%), Concord Carlisle High (73.14%), Littleton High School (71.79%) and Lincoln-Sudbury Regional High (66.77%). Only The Bromfield High School (92.77%) and Acton-Boxborough Regional High (86.2%) scored higher in ELA nearby. Maynard is also the smallest school in its comparison group and has the lowest student–teacher ratio (9.6), with per-student spending of $20,975 in 2020–2021 — near the top of the local group. Effectiveness rankings for student groups are strong, including 84th percentile for Hispanic students and 73rd percentile for low-socioeconomic-status students, up from the 20th percentile in 2023–2024.

Math and science remain relative opportunity areas: 62.34% and 57.89% proficiency are both well above state averages (43.73% and 40.5%) but trail top nearby schools. The bigger concern is completion. Maynard's 2024–2025 graduation rate of 91.5% and dropout rate of 7.3% lag most neighbors, including Marlborough High (94.0%, 3.2%) and Hudson High (88.7%, 5.9%), though Maynard is ahead of Framingham High School (75.7%, 15.6%) on both.
