Summary

Plymouth North High is a public high school in Plymouth, Massachusetts, serving grades 9–12 with 1,169 students as part of the Plymouth district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 174 of 353 Massachusetts high schools — the 51st percentile, with 3 stars — placing it slightly above its district and in the middle of the state's high schools. That is a rebound from the 30th percentile in 2023–2024 and 41st in 2024–2025.

Academically, English language arts is the school's clear strength: 56.31% of 10th graders scored proficient, above the state's 45.48% and above neighbors such as Plymouth South High, Pembroke High School, Silver Lake Regional High, and Carver Middle/High School. Math and science lag, though: 36.53% proficient in math (state: 43.73%) and 32.86% in science (state: 40.50%), trailing Marshfield High, Pembroke, Duxbury High, and Rising Tide Charter Public School.

Completion is the biggest concern. Plymouth North's 91.7% graduation rate and 6.9% dropout rate are weaker than nearly every nearby comprehensive high school — including Plymouth South High (97.2% and 2.4%), Marshfield, Pembroke, Silver Lake, Duxbury, and Carver, all above 96% graduation with dropout rates of 1.2% or lower — and its dropout rate rose sharply from 3.2% in 2023–2024. Results also vary widely by student group: the school ranked 9 of 105 (91st percentile, 5 stars) for English language learner students and 96 of 298 (68th percentile) for special education students, while other groups ranked lower. Per-student spending was $21,849 in 2020–2021, among the highest locally, though outcomes do not consistently exceed those of lower-spending neighbors.
