Summary:
ZIP code 01005 has one public high school, Quabbin Regional High School, serving grades 9–12 with 545 students as part of the Quabbin district in Barre, Massachusetts.
Because it is the only high school here, the most useful comparisons are between the school and its district, the school and the state, and year-over-year trends. Quabbin Regional High School generally outperforms the Quabbin district: its 2024–2025 graduation rate was 86.4% versus the district’s 83.7%, and its dropout rate was 9.3% versus 10.6%. It also beat the district in most reported test areas. Its clearest strength is Biology End of Course, where 43.48% of students were proficient, above both the district’s 42.86% and the state’s 37.68% — the only 2025–2026 measure where the school topped the state. Against the state overall, though, the school trailed in English Language Arts (40.65% vs. 45.48%), Mathematics (41.67% vs. 43.73%), and Science (33.33% vs. 40.50%).
Year-over-year results are mixed: Math improved from 37.76% to 41.67% proficient, while ELA fell from 47.89% to 40.65% and Science dropped from 40.29% to 33.33%. The school’s rank rose to 177th of 353 schools in 2025–2026, reaching the 50th percentile with 3 stars, up from 2 stars in the two prior years — a bright spot, especially since the district itself ranks 248th of 351 with 29th percentile and 1 star. Staffing stands at a 12.8:1 student-teacher ratio, and per-student spending was $17,290 in 2020–2021, a dated figure. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is not reported, so socioeconomic context is unavailable, and graduation/dropout data cover only one year with no state comparison. Overall, this is a school performing above its district context, with notable recent ranking gains but clear challenges in Science, ELA, and student completion.
