Summary

Millbury Junior/Senior High is the main secondary school in the Millbury district, serving about 722 students in grades 7–12 in Millbury, Massachusetts, a town just south of Worcester. The school ranks 234th of 353 Massachusetts schools for 2025–2026 (34th percentile, 2 stars), while the Millbury district ranks 254th of 351. That is a long slide from 2015–2016, when the school stood at 150th of 351 (57th percentile, 3 stars); results have since settled in the low-to-mid 30s.

On the 2025–2026 MCAS, all-grade proficiency is 27.35% in ELA, 32.61% in math and 30.83% in science, all below state averages (40.03%, 41.11% and 40.98%). Tenth grade sits at 35.24% ELA, 34.62% math and 30.39% science — above the district but roughly 9–10 points below the state. Biology End-of-Course is the sharpest weakness at 18.28%, less than half the state rate of 37.68%. Middle grades weigh down the all-grade numbers: 7th grade ELA is 22% and 8th grade math 26.15%. The bright spot is 7th grade math at 41%, which beats both the district and the state.

Against Worcester schools, Millbury is often stronger: its 10th grade ELA, math and science beat Doherty Memorial High, Claremont Academy, Worcester Technical High and North High, though Doherty's Biology score (32.59%) is far higher and Worcester Technical posts better graduation and dropout figures. Among suburban neighbors, Auburn Senior High, Grafton High School and Sutton High School all outscore Millbury, even though Millbury spends more per student ($17,979) with smaller classes (11.3 students per teacher). Graduation is a strength at 94.4%, up from 89.2% in 2021–2022, with a 3.2% dropout rate. Results for several student groups — including Hispanic students, students from low-income families and students with special education needs — have swung widely from year to year, with below-average effectiveness ranks.
