Summary

Wareham Senior High is a public school in Wareham, MA, serving grades 8–12 with 533 students in the Wareham district. It ranks 256th of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–26 (27th percentile, 1 star); the district ranks 277th of 351 (1 star). Its 2024–25 graduation rate is 85.6% and dropout rate 4.4%, better than the district’s 79.4% and 5.6%. The student-teacher ratio is 8.5, and per-student spending was $21,824 in 2020–21.

Academically, 2025–26 all-grade proficiency is ELA 27.07%, math 15.57%, and science 28.91%, all below district and state. Tenth-grade results are ELA 29.67%, math 32.58%, and science 25.64%; Biology EOC is 18.33%, lower than every nearby school with a comparable figure. Math is a clear weak spot: all-grade math is 15.57% versus 29.66% in the district and 41.11% statewide, and 8th-grade math is 15.57% versus 41.67% statewide. Compared with Old Rochester Regional High, the contrast is stark: it ranks in the 74th percentile, with 10th-grade ELA 62.58%, math 56.44%, science 47.77%, Biology EOC 46.51%, a 96.1% graduation rate, and 0.7% dropout. Wareham has higher per-student spending and a smaller student-teacher ratio than that school and several nearby comprehensive schools, yet its outcomes trail most surrounding comprehensive and vocational peers. Most nearby schools—including Fairhaven High, Carver Middle/High School, and Plymouth South High—have higher graduation rates. Global Learning Charter Public School has 100% graduation but lower 10th-grade scores than Wareham.

Signs of improvement exist from a low base. The 2025–26 rank percentile of 27 is the highest in its history, and all-grade ELA, math, and science rose from 2024–25 (ELA 25% to 27.07%, math 11.11% to 15.57%, science 23.08% to 28.91%). Special education improved to 36th percentile/2 stars, female students rank above male students, and low-SES students remain at 26th percentile/1 star. Still, graduation fell from 90.6% in 2023–24 to 85.6% in 2024–25, and dropout rose from 3.8% to 4.4%. Within the district, Wareham Senior High outperforms on completion; Wareham Cooperative Alternative School had 40% graduation and 20% dropout. Still, high spending and small classes have not yet produced matching math, biology, and completion results.
