Summary:
ZIP code 01810 in Andover, Massachusetts contains two large public high schools, both serving grades 9–12: Greater Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical with 1,837 students, and Andover High with 1,609 students. They share a ZIP code but not a mission — one is a regional vocational/technical school, the other is the comprehensive high school for the Andover district — so the two are not directly equivalent. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for both schools, meaning economic context is unknown and should not be assumed to be zero.
Andover High is the academic standout. Its district rank is 36 of 351 (90th percentile, 5 stars), and its school rank for 2025–2026 is 57 of 353 (84th percentile, 4 stars). It graduates 99.5% of students, has a 0.2% dropout rate, a 12.8 student-teacher ratio, and spent $17,743 per student in 2020–2021. Its 2025–2026 10th-grade proficiency scores beat the state in every reported subject: ELA 62.37% vs 45.48%, math 73.77% vs 43.73%, science 57.75% vs 40.5%, and physics 64.33% vs 46.58%. Scores were even higher in 2024–2025, so the recent dip mirrors statewide declines.
Greater Lawrence Regional Vocational Technical stands out for near-universal graduation (99.5%) and a low 0.5% dropout rate, though its test scores trail the state: ELA 38.89%, math 31.74%, science 26.77%, and biology 26.61%. Its ranking has improved each year, from 272 of 348 in 2023–2024 to 229 of 353 (35th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. It spent $23,197 per student — about 30.7% more than Andover High — with a nearly identical 12.7 student-teacher ratio, reflecting the higher costs of specialized vocational programs. Overall, both schools get students to graduation, but their academic profiles, spending, and rank trajectories differ sharply.
