Summary

Whitman Hanson Regional is a grade 9–12 public high school in Whitman, Massachusetts, serving 993 students as part of the Whitman-Hanson district; in 2025–26 it ranked 220th of 353 Massachusetts high schools, the 38th percentile with 2 stars.

Test scores are the main concern right now. In 2025–26, MCAS Next Generation 10th-grade proficiency was below the state in every reported subject: ELA 33.49 versus the state's 45.48, Math 30.69 versus 43.73, Science 36.08 versus 40.5, and Biology end-of-course 30.21 versus 37.68. That represents a steep one-year slide — ELA fell from 49.79 and Science from 61.61 the year before, and Science and Biology had previously been relative strengths. The school's rank dropped from 61st percentile (3 stars) to 38th percentile (2 stars). Among nearby schools, it currently trails Hanover High, Pembroke High School, Abington High, East Bridgewater Junior/Senior High School, South Shore Vocational Technical High, and Rockland Senior High — 8th of 11 in that local group.

Graduation is steadier: 91.6% in 2024–25, above the district's 88.9% and stable over five years. The dropout rate, however, rose to 5.4%, the highest in that five-year window and well above Hanover (0.6%), Pembroke (1.2%), East Bridgewater (1.7%), and South Shore Voc (1.8%). Classes are larger than at several higher-performing neighbors, with a 14.6 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending of $14,463 in 2020–21. Effectiveness gaps are wider than the overall rank suggests: English Language Learner students rank at the 6th percentile, low-income students at the 10th (down from the 54th–58th range in the prior two years), and special education students at the 31st. Note that free/reduced lunch figures are suppressed in this data and spending figures are several years old; the 2025–26 drop may yet prove a one-year anomaly, but its size makes it worth watching.
