Summary:
Zip code 01535 has just one public high school: North Brookfield High, a grade 6–12 school in North Brookfield, MA serving 157 students. Because it is the only school in the zip code, families have no local peer school to compare it with; the meaningful benchmarks are its district, North Brookfield, and Massachusetts state averages.
Academically, the school trails state benchmarks substantially. In 2025–2026, all-grade proficiency was 17.72% in English Language Arts versus 40.03% statewide, 5.19% in Mathematics versus 41.11%, and 16% in Science versus 40.98%. Eighth-grade Civics, at 25% versus 39.77% statewide, came closest to state performance but still fell roughly 10–15 percentage points short. Seventh-grade Mathematics showed 0% proficiency, compared with 37.48% statewide, and grades 6 and 8 math were also far below state at 5.56% and 8.33%. Outcomes point to completion challenges as well: the 2024–2025 graduation rate was 73.9% and the dropout rate was 17.4%, slightly above the district's 16.0%. The school carries a 1-star district rating and a district rank of 314 of 351 (11th percentile), with school rank history stuck in the bottom 15–16th percentile from 2022–2023 through 2024–2025.
Notably, the school's staffing and spending look favorable — a 5.4:1 student-teacher ratio and $20,063 per-student spending in 2020–2021 — yet these are not reflected in achievement results, though the spending figure predates the test data. All-grade proficiency also declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in ELA (24.39% to 17.72%), Mathematics (16.46% to 5.19%), and Science (24% to 16%); these are different cohorts, so the drop should be read cautiously. Free/reduced lunch data is not populated in this data set, so economic context cannot be assessed.
