The student-teacher ratio was 8.9:1, and per-student spending was $19,104 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced-lunch information is not reported in this data set, so economic context is not available.
MCAS proficiency is consistently above both district and state. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade ELA was 64.58% proficient at the school, versus 62.63% in the district and 45.48% statewide; math was 60.42%, versus 58.59% and 43.73%; science was 57.89%, versus 56.70% and 40.50%; and Biology End of Course was 48.62%, versus 47.75% and 37.68%. In 2024–2025, the school’s 10th-grade ELA was 74.53%, math 69.81%, and science 64.00%, all above district and state. The school’s 2025–2026 10th-grade scores fell by roughly 6–10 percentage points from 2024–2025, but the district and state also declined, and the school remains well above the state. Biology End of Course was the lowest 2025–2026 result, and the prior Biology figure was for all grades, so that change is not a clean year-over-year comparison.
