Summary
Revere High is a large public high school serving grades 9–12 in the city of Revere High’s home community of Revere, Massachusetts, just outside Boston, with 2,115 students and a student–teacher ratio of 13.5:1. It is the main comprehensive high school in the Revere district, which ranks 295th of 351 Massachusetts districts, and the school itself placed 271st of 353 in 2025–2026 (23rd percentile, 1 star). Its per-student spending of $14,138 (2020–2021) is the lowest among the nearby schools in this comparison.
On 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS, 28.21% of students reached proficiency in English language arts (17.27 points below the state), 19.76% in math (23.97 points below), and 26.79% in science (13.71 points below); biology came in at 25.17%. Those figures reflect a broad, multi-subject decline since 2023–2024. The graduation rate is 81.2% with a 12.9% dropout rate — better than Chelsea High, Everett High, and Phoenix Academy Charter Public High School Chelsea, but behind Winthrop High School (91.2%), Malden High (85.7%), Excel Academy Charter School (95.1%), and East Boston High School (94.6%). The dropout rate has risen sharply, from 6.9% in 2022–2023 to 12.9% in 2024–2025.
Subgroup results show uneven effectiveness: the school ranks near the statewide median for its strongest student group but in the 13th percentile for special education students, 21st for English learners, and 24th for low-income students — down from the 52nd percentile in 2023–2024. Science and biology are relative bright spots, where Revere High outperforms Chelsea High, Charlestown High School, Everett High, and CityLab Innovation High School. Despite spending far less per student than Charlestown ($28,709) or East Boston ($26,645), Revere High posts better results than several of them. Families should weigh a middle-of-the-pack local position against clear needs in math and a rising dropout rate.
