Summary:

ZIP code 02021 is home to two high schools serving grades 9–12: Canton High, a comprehensive town school in the Canton district, and Blue Hills Regional Vocational Technical, a regional vocational-technical school in the Blue Hills Regional Vocational Technical district. Together they enroll 1,878 students — 968 at Canton High and 910 at Blue Hills — making Canton High the slightly larger school by 58 students. Because one is a traditional comprehensive high school and the other a regional voc-tech, they serve different missions and likely draw different student populations, which matters when comparing results.

Canton High is the academic standout. Its district ranks 58th of 351 (83rd percentile, 4 stars), and its school rank has climbed from 81st in 2023–2024 to 65th in 2025–2026. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate is 96.1%, with a 1.3% dropout rate. In 2025–2026 10th-grade MCAS, proficiency was 55.22% in ELA, 57.26% in math, 68.37% in science, and 66.97% in biology end-of-course — all above the state, with science and biology roughly 28–29 percentage points above it.

Blue Hills stands out for completion rather than test scores. Its 98.2% graduation rate tops Canton's 96.1%, its dropout rate is 0.0%, and its 11.0 student-teacher ratio is lower than Canton's 13.1; it also spends $23,816 per student versus $17,513. But its rank fell from 165th to 209th (41st percentile, 2 stars), and 2025–2026 proficiency trailed the state in every reported subject. Note that free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, spending figures are from 2020–2021, and biology groupings differ across years.
