Summary
Randolph High in Randolph, MA, is a public high school serving 765 students in grades 9-12, and it is part of the Randolph district, which ranks near the bottom of Massachusetts districts.
Randolph High faces significant academic challenges, with test scores and graduation rates well below state averages and those of nearby schools. For example, only 29% of 10th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 76% at Milton High and 62% at Braintree High. The graduation rate of 85.6% is the lowest among all nearby schools except for the alternative Champion High School, while Milton, Canton High, and Braintree all boast rates above 95%. The school also spends more per student ($18,907) than top-performing neighbors like Milton ($15,443) and Braintree ($15,762), yet achieves lower outcomes, suggesting that resource allocation is a key issue.
Despite these challenges, there are signs of positive momentum. The graduation rate jumped from 75% to 85.6% in the last year, and the dropout rate dropped from 12.8% to 8.2%. Notably, Hispanic students have shown remarkable improvement, jumping from the 14th to the 44th percentile statewide, and English Language Learners are a relative success story, ranking in the 39th percentile. However, Special Education students are severely underserved, ranking in the 2nd percentile in a recent year. The closest comparable school, Holbrook Middle High School, outperforms Randolph in nearly every metric, including a 94.6% graduation rate, making it a valuable benchmark for improvement.
