Summary:
ZIP code 01921 in Boxford, Massachusetts contains just one high school: Masconomet Regional High School, which serves grades 9–12 with 924 students and is part of the Masconomet district. Because it is the only high school in the area, there are no in-town peers to compare it against; the more useful comparisons are against its own past years, its district, and the state. It is worth noting that free/reduced-lunch information is not reported in this record, so the school's socioeconomic composition cannot be assessed from this data.
Masconomet Regional High School is a strong performer by the available measures. It ranks 81st of 353 Massachusetts high schools in 2025–2026, was 51st of 349 in 2024–2025, and 64th of 348 in 2023–2024, holding a 4-star rating each year. The Masconomet district is listed at 90th of 351 statewide with 4 stars. The school's graduation rate is 98.6%, above the district's 96.9%, and its dropout rate is 0.9%, matching the district. On MCAS Next Generation tests, it beats the state in nearly every reported subject, most notably in 10th-grade Mathematics, where 63.82% of students were proficient versus 43.73% statewide — a 20.09-point edge.
Two things stand out for parents. First, Physics is the exception: at 40.00% proficient for 2024–2025, the school is slightly below the state's 44.25%, though still just above the district's 39.39%. Second, 10th-grade ELA and Science fell sharply from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 (ELA 76.11% to 55.05%; Science 68.61% to 57.44%), but the district dropped by almost the same amounts in both subjects, suggesting a broader pattern rather than a school-specific decline. The school also reports a 12.2 student-teacher ratio and $20,326 per-student spending from 2020–2021, though no district or state averages are provided for comparison.
