Summary

Algonquin Regional High is a public high school in Northborough, Massachusetts, serving grades 9–12 with 1,197 students in the Northboro-Southboro district, which currently ranks 27th of 351 Massachusetts districts (92nd percentile, 5 stars). The school itself ranks 37th of 353 high schools in 2025–2026 (90th percentile, 4 stars). Overall, it is a strong, well-resourced suburban school: graduation is very high, dropout is very low, student-teacher ratios are favorable, and test scores are well above state averages.

On 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS tests, Algonquin's proficiency was roughly 25–34 percentage points above the state in every subject, but it sits in the middle-to-upper tier among nearby peers rather than at the top. Hopkinton High outperformed it in all four subjects, Westborough High was slightly higher across the board, and Advanced Math and Science Academy Charter School and Tahanto Regional High were higher in several. Algonquin clearly outpaced Clinton Senior High, Assabet Valley Vocational High School, Hudson High, and Marlborough High. Its 98.3% graduation rate and 0.7% dropout rate rank among the strongest locally, and its student-teacher ratio of 10.8 is lower than Hopkinton, Shrewsbury High School, Westborough, Nashoba Regional, and AMSA. Per-student spending was $19,074, more than several of those peers.

Rank history shows an exceptional 3rd-place statewide finish in 2022–2023, with the school settling into the top 10% since. ELA and science proficiency have fallen sharply since that peak, and results for low-socioeconomic-status students dropped from the 94th to the 68th percentile in two years — the only current subgroup below the 70th percentile and 22 points below the school's overall figure. Special education students also declined from very high levels. Free/reduced-lunch data was not available, so the low-SES rank is the best available measure of equity performance.

What people are saying

by a student
Monday, October 24, 2011

I am a student here and absolutely love it! I went to a charter school before and there are a lot of things that are similar, in bio so far we have done a bunch of significant labs, all of the teachers make learning fun. The facility is great and very large so we are a very sports and academic oriented school. I am not involved with any of the competative sports there but there are TONS of after school clubs that are and are not competative. Even though the school is large and I had to start over with meeting all new friends I definetly feel like I fit in. Everyone is excepted. Close Quote
