Summary:
ZIP code 01540 in Oxford, Massachusetts is home to a single public high school — Oxford High — which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 453 students as part of the Oxford school district.
For families who care most about whether students finish school, Oxford High has encouraging news. Its graduation rate in 2024–2025 was 97.1%, above the district's 95.2%, and its dropout rate was 2.0%, below the district's 2.9%. The school also reports a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.3 students per teacher in 2024–2025, along with per-student spending of $15,599 in 2020–2021, the most recent spending figure in this data. Its state ranking is moving in the right direction as well: Oxford High climbed from 291st of 349 schools (17th percentile, 1 star) in 2024–2025 to 239th of 353 (32nd percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026 — its best showing of the three years reported, and better than the district's own rank of 263rd of 351.
Academics are where the school has more ground to cover. In 2025–2026, proficiency was 33.7% in 10th-grade English Language Arts, 32.18% in math, 29.41% in science, and 21.65% on the Biology End of Course exam — each below the Massachusetts average, by roughly 11 to 16 percentage points. The good news is that scores rose year over year in ELA (+1.48 points), math (+12.4 points), and science (+8.68 points), while state scores fell, narrowing the gap. Oxford High's results closely mirror the district's, usually within about a point, so it is a representative Oxford school rather than an outlier. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so that context cannot be assessed. Overall: strong completion metrics and an improving trajectory, with proficiency still behind the state.
