Summary

West Bridgewater Junior/Senior is a public junior/senior high school serving grades 7–12 with 614 students in West Bridgewater, a small town in southeastern Massachusetts, and it is part of the West Bridgewater district. Its most recent statewide rank is 182 out of 353 schools for 2025–2026 — 48th percentile, 2 stars, mid-pack statewide. That is well below its earlier peak: the school ranked 76/348 (78th percentile, 4 stars) in 2016–2017 and 79/345 (77th percentile, 4 stars) in 2017–2018, then drifted to 229/347 (34th percentile) in 2022–2023 and 235/348 (32nd percentile) in 2023–2024, recovered to 170/349 (51st percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, and now sits at 182/353. The pattern is a school that has fallen from top-quartile status but stabilized near the middle of the state.

Test results are mixed. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 41.63% in ELA and 45.5% in math, both above state values of 40.03% and 41.11%, but science was 28.97%, well below the state's 40.98%, and science has trailed the state every recent year. Grade-level results split: 7th-grade ELA and math, 8th-grade math, and Biology are above state, while 8th-grade ELA, 8th-grade science and civics, and 10th-grade ELA, math, and science are below. Nearby, East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School posts similar 10th-grade ELA but much stronger 10th-grade science, Bridgewater-Raynham Regional is stronger in math and science, and Southeastern Regional Vocational Technical scores higher in all three 10th-grade subjects. West Bridgewater is far above Brockton High.

Completion outcomes are a clear strength: a 96.0% graduation rate and 2.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, far better than Brockton High (84.3% and 7.5%). The student-teacher ratio is a relatively low 12.2, and per-student spending was $14,419 in 2020–2021, the most recent figure. The school's effectiveness ranking for low-income students was 136/340 (60th percentile, 3 stars), above its overall 48th percentile. The persistent science gap at 8th and 10th grades is the clearest area for families to ask about.
