Summary

Nashoba Regional is a public high school in Bolton, MA serving grades 9–12 with 806 students, part of the Nashoba district. It ranks 50th of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–2026 (86th percentile, 4 stars), slightly above its district's overall standing (69th of 351 districts). That continues a long climb from the 68th percentile in 2015–2016 and a 2021–2022 peak at the 91st percentile.

Academically, 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS results are well above state averages: 73.5% proficient in English Language Arts (state 45.48%), 65.66% in Mathematics (43.73%), 61.38% in Science (40.5%), and 60.31% in Biology End-of-Course (37.68%). Graduation was 95.6% with a 1.5% dropout rate, and the student-teacher ratio was 12:1. Among nearby schools, though, Nashoba sits below The Bromfield High School, Tahanto Regional High, Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School, and Francis W. Parker Charter Essential School in test scores, and also below Bromfield, AMSA, Tahanto, and Assabet Valley Vocational High School in graduation and dropout outcomes. It clearly leads Hudson High, Marlborough High, Clinton Senior High, and Assabet Valley Vocational by wide margins — about 22.7 points in ELA over Hudson and about 39 points over Assabet Valley Vocational.

Two trends are worth watching. Tenth-grade Math proficiency has fallen from 76.12% in 2022–2023 to 65.66% in 2025–2026, even as ELA and Science rebounded; Math remains well above the state average. Special education students ranked at the 66th percentile in 2025–2026 (down from 78th in 2023–2024), below the school's overall 86th percentile. Per-pupil spending was $18,228 in 2020–2021 — mid-range among nearby schools — suggesting these results come without top-end spending or the smallest classes.
