Summary:
ZIP code 01907 covers Swampscott, Massachusetts, and this data set includes exactly one high school there: Swampscott High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 706 students at 200 Essex Street. Because it is the only high school in the ZIP code, there are no other local schools to compare it with; instead, its performance can be measured against its own Swampscott district and against the state as a whole.
The school's outcomes are strong. Its graduation rate was 94.5% in 2024–2025, slightly above the district's 93.5%, and its dropout rate was 1.8%, identical to the district. On the 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 10th-graders scored 60.92% proficient in English Language Arts, 62.07% in Mathematics, and 71.60% in Science; Biology at End of Course reached 63.70%. Each of those figures is above the district rate and well above the state — by 15.44 points in ELA, 18.34 points in Math, 31.10 points in Science, and 26.02 points in Biology. Science and Biology are the clearest relative strengths. ELA, Math, and Science all improved from 2024–2025, when Math proficiency was 49.10% and ELA 54.82%; Math posted the largest one-year gain.
Statewide, Swampscott High ranked 55th of 353 schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 84th percentile — its best position in the three years provided — after 105th of 349 and 65th of 348 in the two prior years, and it has held a 4-star rating throughout. Staffing is favorable, with a student-teacher ratio of 11.6, and per-student spending was $17,420 in 2020–2021, an older figure than the test and ranking data. Two caveats: the free/reduced-lunch percentage is not available in this record, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed, and the Biology figures for the two years cover different groups (All Grades versus End of Course), so they should not be read as a trend.
