Summary

Woburn High is a grades 9–12 public high school in Woburn, MA, serving 1,259 students in a Boston-area suburb. It ranks 170th of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–2026 (52nd percentile, 3 stars), while the Woburn district ranks 221st of 351 districts (2 stars), so the high school is a relative strength within its district. In a nearby comparison group, Woburn High ranks 9th of 11, ahead of only Medford High and Northeast Metro Regional Vocational; nearby schools include Winchester High School at the 98th percentile, Arlington High at the 95th, and Melrose High at the 86th.

Academically, math is the most urgent signal. In 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS Next Generation, Woburn High’s proficiency was 44.6% in ELA, 33.33% in math, and 38.37% in science. Math is 10.4 points below the state’s 43.73% and is the lowest among nearby comparison schools, including Northeast Metro Regional Vocational (34.75%) and Medford High (35.23%). Math proficiency fell from 51.14% in 2023–2024 to 37.59% in 2024–2025 to 33.33% in 2025–2026. Science weakened from 57.03% in 2023–2024 to 38.37% in 2025–2026, now below the state’s 40.5%. ELA is closer to the state’s 45.48%. Biology End-of-Course is a relative bright spot at 45.22% proficient, above the state’s 37.68%, though below nearby schools that reported it.

Graduation and dropout are mixed. Woburn High’s 92.5% graduation rate is above the Woburn district’s 91.1%, but tied with Stoneham High for the lowest in this nearby group, where most schools are in the 95–99% range. The 4.5% dropout rate is better than the district’s 5.4%, yet remains among the higher rates in the comparison set. The Woburn district spends $20,017 per student, more than Winchester High School, Arlington High, Reading Memorial High, Melrose High, Wakefield Memorial High, and Stoneham High, and its student–teacher ratio of 11.2 is lower than several of those schools’. This does not prove inefficiency, but it makes the achievement gap worth examining. Relative effectiveness varies across student groups and has swung year to year, so consistency is a key watch point.
