Summary

Silver Lake Regional High is a public high school in Kingston, Massachusetts, serving grades 9–12 with 1,034 students as part of the Silver Lake district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 198th of 353 Massachusetts high schools (44th percentile, 2 stars), placing it slightly below the state median, while the district ranked 190th of 351. The school's standing has drifted downward over the past decade, from 106th of 351 in 2015–2016 to 141st of 347 in 2022–2023 and 198th of 353 now — its lowest rating in the available history.

Completion is the clearest strength. Silver Lake's 98.0% graduation rate trails only Duxbury High (99.1%) and East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School (98.3%) among nearby schools. Its 0.4% dropout rate is the lowest in that group, ahead of Duxbury (0.5%), Hanover High (0.6%), and Marshfield High (1.0%), and has improved from 2.6% in 2020–2021. Math is the strongest core subject at 44.03% proficient, just above the state's 43.73%, though still well behind Rising Tide Charter Public School (78.95%), Duxbury (75.65%), Marshfield (58.65%), Hanover (58.02%), and Pembroke High School (55.75%).

Other subjects lag. ELA proficiency is 35.27% versus the state's 45.48%, Science is 34.57% versus 40.5%, and Physics is 32.8% versus 46.58%. ELA has fallen from 66.02% in 2022–2023 — a 30.75-point drop — and the school went from above the state in all four subjects in 2022–2023 to above the state only in Math. Subgroup effectiveness is uneven: low-income students rank at the 63rd percentile statewide, while special education students rank at the 22nd. Despite spending $18,442 per pupil and holding a 12:1 student-teacher ratio, the Pembroke district spends roughly $2,768 less per student and posts higher ELA, Math, and Science proficiency.
