Summary

Nipmuc Regional High is a grades 9–12 public high school in Upton, MA, serving 534 students from the Mendon-Upton community as part of the Mendon-Upton district. In 2025–26 it ranked 91st of 353 Massachusetts high schools—74th percentile, 4 stars—while the district ranked 101st of 351, making the high school a slight relative strength within the district. Historically Nipmuc was stronger, sitting in the 86th–87th percentile in 2015–16 and 2016–17 and the 79th in 2017–18 and 2018–19. After a dip to 57th percentile (150th of 349) in 2024–25, it rebounded. Its 2024–25 graduation rate was 94.4% with a 3.1% dropout rate, and its student-teacher ratio was 11.4.

Test scores are a clear strength. In 2025–26, 10th-grade MCAS proficiency was 61.54% in English Language Arts (state: 45.48%), 55.81% in Math (state: 43.73%), 50.41% in Science (state: 40.5%), and 48.54% in Biology End of Course (state: 37.68%)—above state in every core subject by roughly 10–16 percentage points. That places Nipmuc fourth among ranked nearby high schools, behind Hopkinton High (99th percentile), Westborough High (92nd), and Grafton High School (81st), and ahead of Hopedale Junior Senior High (67th), Blackstone Valley (64th), Uxbridge High (60th), Douglas High School (41st), Northbridge High (40th), and Milford High (28th). Grafton, the nearest comprehensive peer, is slightly ahead in all four subjects, while Hopkinton and Westborough are a different tier.

Within the school, results vary by group. In 2025–26, male students ranked 76th percentile and female students 70th, while low-income students ranked 57th and special-education students 55th—below the school's overall 74th percentile. Math and Science remain below their 2022–23 and 2023–24 peaks despite the rebound, and the dropout rate has risen from 0.0% in 2021–22 to 3.1%. Note that free/reduced-lunch data were not available, spending figures are from 2020–21, and some nearby schools report different grade levels or all-grades results, so comparisons are approximate. The bottom line: Nipmuc is a solid, above-average school that is stronger than most nearby schools but behind the top local tier.
