Test scores are far below nearby schools and the state. In 2025–26 10th-grade MCAS, Bartlett's proficiency was 10.39% in English Language Arts, 15.58% in Math, 8.82% in Science, and 10.38% in Biology End of Course, compared with state rates of 45.48%, 43.73%, 40.5%, and 37.68%. Among nearby schools, only Southbridge High School (5th percentile) ranks lower; Sutton High School sits at the 76th percentile and Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School at the 68th. The closest contrast is Shepherd Hill Regional High, 2.56 miles away: 35th percentile, 92.2% graduation, 4.4% dropout, and 24.74%/28.8%/31.64% proficiency, all while spending $14,916 per student versus Bartlett's $19,861 and having a larger student–teacher ratio (14.3 vs. 11.6).

Bartlett's completion numbers improved in 2024–25, with graduation rising from 63.0% to 79.6% and dropout falling from 19.8% to 9.7%, but nearby schools such as Douglas High School, Oxford High and Sutton graduate 94–99%. MCAS trends show no broad rebound — ELA fell to 10.39% from 23.91% the prior year. Subgroup results are broadly low, with most reported student groups landing in the bottom 10% statewide and even the highest reported group in the bottom quartile; spending and class size do not obviously explain these outcomes.

Open Quote The toilets explode, the ceiling is falling apart, there is not a single stall with doors in the mens bathrooms and you can count the amount of urinals that actually flush on one hand, the teachers are almost all old white women. The layout makes no sense whatsoever. The food sucks too but its free so thats acceptable Close Quote
