Summary

Old Rochester Regional High is a grades 9–12 public high school in Mattapoisett, MA, serving 643 students as part of the Old Rochester district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 93rd of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 74th percentile, with 4 stars — noticeably stronger than its district's overall standing (107th of 351). Its ranking history has been uneven: after a peak in 2020–2021 (48th of 285) and 2021–2022 (55th), it slipped to 137th in 2022–2023, then improved every year since to reach its best result since 2021–2022.

Academically, 10th-grade proficiency in 2025–2026 was above the state in every core subject: ELA 62.58% vs. 45.48% statewide, math 56.44% vs. 43.73%, science 47.77% vs. 40.5%, and Biology End of Course 46.51% vs. 37.68%. ELA and math both rose from the prior year. Among nearby schools, Falmouth High is the closest academic peer: it ranks 108th, and while Old Rochester leads in ELA, math, Biology, graduation (96.1% vs. 92.0%) and dropout (0.7% vs. 4.0%), Falmouth edged ahead in science at 48.94%. Bourne High School, Fairhaven High, Wareham Senior High, and New Bedford High trail well behind on proficiency.

Subgroup results show the school serves several groups well: female students rank in the 79th percentile and low-income students in the 73rd, and special education students have improved steadily to the 62nd percentile. Science is the area to watch — science proficiency dropped from 59.85% in 2023–2024 to 50.68% and then 47.77%, with Biology following a similar path, though both remain above state. Resource data are moderate: 2020–2021 per-student spending of $18,403, less than Falmouth or Bourne, with a 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio of 12.5 that is higher than most nearby schools.
