Summary

Natick High is a grades 9–12 public school in Natick, Massachusetts, serving 1,761 students as the only high school in the Natick district and one of the larger high schools in its immediate area. In 2025-26 it ranked 41st of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 88th percentile, with 4 stars — and it has never fallen below 4 stars or outside the 82nd–91st percentile in ten reporting years. Its four-year graduation rate is 96.6%, above the district's 94.9%.

Natick's 10th-grade MCAS results sit far above state averages: 68.87% proficient in English Language Arts versus 45.48% statewide, 73.47% in math versus 43.73%, and 72.70% in science versus 40.50%. Its science score is essentially level with Needham High (72.10%) and Weston High (72.14%), even though those schools rank 11th and 25th in the state. English Language Arts is Natick's relative weak spot — the lowest of its seven suburban non-vocational peers — and math trails the five-star group as well. Compared with its closest neighbors, Natick outperforms Framingham High School by roughly 30–38 points in every subject. It achieves this at $16,485 per student, about 25% less than the five-star schools nearby, and with 12.5 students per teacher versus about 11.1 for those peers.

On student groups, Natick delivers top-quintile results for students with disabilities (81st–88th percentile across three years), while its low-income students rank 67th–74th — solid, but the widest gap from the school's overall 88th percentile. Female and male students perform nearly identically. The number to watch is the dropout rate, which rose to 2.1% in 2024-25 from 1.3%, the highest among its suburban peers. Free- and reduced-lunch percentages are not published, so no conclusions about economic composition are drawn here.
