Summary

West Boylston Junior/Senior High is a public school in West Boylston, MA, serving 461 students in grades 6–12 as part of the West Boylston district, a small town community near Worcester. In 2025–2026, it ranked 68th of 353 Massachusetts high schools (81st percentile, 4 stars), up from 190th of 347 (45th percentile, 2 stars) in 2022–2023. Locally, it trails Tahanto Regional High and Shrewsbury High School but ranks ahead of Wachusett Regional High, Clinton Senior High, and city high schools such as Doherty Memorial High, Burncoat Senior High, Worcester Technical High, North High, and Claremont Academy.

Academically, the school is solid. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 44.08% in ELA, 58.02% in Math, and 59.72% in Science, all above state averages. Tenth-grade results are stronger: 67.24% ELA, 68.97% Math, and 46.30% Science. Math is consistently strong, and 10th-grade ELA is a clear strength, but 6th-grade ELA (38.81%) is slightly below the state average (40.26%), so middle-school ELA may be worth watching. Science is mixed: 10th-grade Science is the weakest 10th-grade subject relative to its own ELA and Math, while 8th-grade Science (59.72%) and Physics end-of-course (61.36%) are strong; Physics beats the state (46.58%), Shrewsbury High School (41.88%), and Wachusett Regional High (42.56%). The school also recorded a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025.

For families comparing options, West Boylston’s student–teacher ratio of 10.6 in 2024–2025 is the lowest among nearby schools, though it has risen from 9.4 in 2022–2023 to 10.6 in 2024–2025. Low-income students ranked 56 of 340 (84th percentile, 4 stars), slightly above the school’s overall 81st percentile, and special education students ranked 97 of 302 (68th percentile, 3 stars), suggesting the school serves key groups well. Per-student spending was $15,300 in 2020–2021, mid-range locally. Because the school serves grades 6–12, all-grade scores are not directly comparable to 9–12 high schools; 10th-grade and end-of-course results are fairer comparisons. Overall, this is a small, high-performing school with strong graduation outcomes, reliable math, standout physics, and solid subgroup results, with 10th-grade science and middle-school ELA as relative areas to examine.
