Summary

North Andover High is a public high school serving grades 9–12 in North Andover, MA, a suburban community north of Boston, with 1,328 students. It is part of the North Andover district, which ranks 126 of 351 districts in Massachusetts (64th percentile, 3 stars). The school itself ranks higher — 102 of 353 high schools in 2025–2026, or 71st percentile and 4 stars — suggesting the high school is a relative strength within its district. Its ranking has been stable, sitting between the 69th and 78th percentile in recent years, and its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 96.8%, close to the district's 96.5%, with a 1.8% dropout rate.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, North Andover High scored above the state in every reported subject: ELA 49.16% proficient versus 45.48% statewide, math 51.18% versus 43.73%, science 52.65% versus 40.5%, and Biology 53.02% versus 37.68%. Science and biology are the standout areas, while ELA shows the smallest margin over the state. Nearby, Andover High remains the regional academic leader, with ELA at 62.37%, math at 73.77%, and a 99.5% graduation rate. Georgetown High School is smaller but competitive in ELA and math. Methuen High, Haverhill High, and Lawrence High School score substantially lower.

Two trends are worth watching. Test scores have declined since 2022–2023: tenth-grade ELA fell from 71.29% to 49.16%, math from 63.92% to 51.18%, and science from 61.86% to 52.65%, with the ELA and math drops larger than the state's. The dropout rate also rose from 0.6% to 1.8%, though it remains low. Gr Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical posts stronger persistence figures (99.5% graduation, 0.5% dropout) but much lower test proficiency. North Andover spends $14,561 per pupil (2020–2021), less than several neighbors, yet achieves above-state results. Subgroup results vary: English language learners rank at the 88th percentile, while special education students rank at the 35th and low-income students at the 50th.
