Summary

North Brookfield High is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in North Brookfield, MA, with 133 students and part of the North Brookfield school district, which is ranked 322 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. Unfortunately, North Brookfield High has consistently been ranked in the bottom third of Massachusetts high schools over the past 10 years, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Brookfield High faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low proficiency rates on MCAS Next Generation assessments across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 21.43% of 10th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 50.66%. In math, only 23.08% of 10th graders were proficient or better, compared to 44.6% statewide. The school also has a significantly higher dropout rate than the state average, at 9.4% in 2023-2024, compared to around 2% statewide. Additionally, North Brookfield High's four-year graduation rate has been below 75% in recent years, significantly lower than the state average of around 90%.

Interestingly, the surrounding schools in the area, such as Wachusett Regional High, Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School, and Tantasqua Regional Senior High, all significantly outperform North Brookfield High on academic metrics, graduation rates, and MCAS assessments. This suggests that North Brookfield High students may not have access to the same educational opportunities and resources as their peers in neighboring districts. Despite the low academic performance, North Brookfield High spends a relatively high amount per student, with spending reaching over $20,000 per student in 2020-2021, raising questions about the efficient use of resources and the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
