Summary

Joseph Case High is a public high school in Swansea, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 514 students as part of the Swansea district. The school is on a clear upward path: its statewide rank moved from the 48th percentile (2 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 62nd percentile in 2024–2025, then to the 73rd percentile with 4 stars in 2025–2026. That current ranking — 96th of 353 schools — is the highest among nearby schools in the comparison group, ahead of Seekonk High (63rd percentile), Somerset Berkley Regional High School (63rd) and Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School (50th).

On the 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS, Joseph Case High outperformed the state in every core subject. Math (56.25%) and science (56.88%) are the standout strengths — roughly 12.5 and 16 points above the state, and the highest among the listed nearby schools in both subjects. Physics also topped the state. English language arts is solid at 49.56%, above both the state and district, though Seekonk High and Somerset Berkley Regional High School score higher in ELA. Science has been consistently strong for several years running.

The school's 2024–2025 graduation rate of 94.5% and dropout rate of 3.1% beat the district and far exceed B M C Durfee High (83.6% and 11.7%) and Argosy Collegiate Charter School (77.8% and 5.6%), though Bristol County Agricultural High and Diman Regional Vocational Technical High post higher graduation and lower dropout figures. The clearest concern is special education: those students rank in the 23rd percentile with 1 star, a pattern that has held for three reported years while other student groups sit in the 61st–72nd percentile range. With a favorable 10.9 student-teacher ratio and lower per-student spending than several higher-spending neighbors, the school appears to get strong results from comparatively efficient resources.
