Summary:
ZIP code 01462 in Lunenburg, Massachusetts contains exactly one public high school — Lunenburg High — serving grades 9–12 with 452 students, so the picture below describes that single school rather than a comparison among local options.

Science is the clear weak spot: 10th grade Science proficiency was 34.02% in 2025–2026, below both the district's 33.67% and the state's 40.5%, and down sharply from 45.63% the prior year.

The school ranked 155th of 353 high schools in 2025–2026 — the 56th percentile with 3 stars — slightly ahead of the Lunenburg district's 53rd percentile. However, rankings have slipped over three years, from 72nd percentile and 4 stars in 2023–2024. Per-student spending was $15,432 (2020–2021) with a student-teacher ratio of 12.3 (2024–2025). Free/reduced-lunch data and state comparisons for spending and staffing are not available here, and the spending figure is older than the other metrics.
