Summary

Tewksbury Memorial High is a grade 9–12 comprehensive high school in Tewksbury, Massachusetts, a suburban community north of Boston, serving 696 students — one of the smaller comprehensive high schools in its local comparison group.

The school's academic standing is reliable middle: its long-run record is 3 stars in the high-50s to mid-60s percentile, though 2025–26 slipped to the 53rd percentile — its lowest reading on record and a 27-pointile drop from the prior year's 4-star showing. On 2025–26 10th-grade MCAS, Tewksbury ranks 4th of eight nearby high schools in ELA (49.02) and math (45.45), about 3.5 and 1.7 points above the state, but only 6th of 8 in science (36.55), roughly 4 points below the state. Chelmsford High, Andover High and Wilmington High clear the state bar in all three subjects, while Billerica Memorial High School and Lowell High trail Tewksbury in ELA and math, though Billerica leads in science. The one-year swing is the dominant story: ELA fell 20.3 points, math 23.1 and science 22.0, far steeper than the state's declines, and nearly every student group slid, pointing to a school-wide effect rather than one segment.

Outcomes are solid but mid-pack locally. Graduation has held in the 94.9–96.9% range over five years (94.9% in 2024–25, above the Tewksbury district's 93.4%), while dropout drifted from 1.4% to 2.3%. Among suburbs that sits at the lower end — Andover at 99.5% and Chelmsford at 98.8% graduation, Wilmington at 95.9% — though well ahead of Lowell Middlesex Academy Charter School and The Career Academy. Per-student spending was $17,986 (2020–21), mid-pack, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.2 that has been rising.
