Summary:
ZIP code 01740 contains exactly one public high school: Nashoba Regional, located at 12 Green Road in Bolton, Massachusetts. It serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 806 students as part of the Nashoba district. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP, there are no side-by-side comparisons with neighboring schools — the most useful benchmarks are the district, the state, and year-over-year change.
Nashoba Regional earns a 4-star rating, and the Nashoba district ranks 69 of 351 districts, or the 80th percentile. The school's own rank history is strong and stable: 50 of 353 in 2025–2026 (86th percentile), 68 of 349 in 2024–2025, and 50 of 348 in 2023–2024. MCAS Next Generation proficiency is above the Massachusetts average in every reported subject and year, with gaps ranging from +13.45 points (2024–2025 Science) to +28.02 points (2025–2026 English Language Arts). Notably, school scores sit only 0.33 to 1.29 points above district scores in every listed comparison, suggesting the school closely tracks — and slightly leads — district performance. Between the two reported years, 10th-grade ELA rose from 68.62 to 73.5 and Science from 59.34 to 61.38, while Math slipped from 68.82 to 65.66; even so, math stayed 21.93 points above the state.
Outcomes are also strong: a 95.6% graduation rate in 2024–2025, which is 1.4 points above the district's 94.2%, and a 1.5% dropout rate that matches the district exactly. The student-teacher ratio is 12:1, and per-student spending was $18,228 in 2020–2021 — an older figure that should be read cautiously. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is not provided in this record, so it should not be assumed to be zero. Also note that the 2025–2026 Biology result covers End of Course while the 2024–2025 result covers All Grades, so those two are not directly comparable.
