Academically, Dedham High School's MCAS proficiency rates in the 2024-2025 school year were generally higher than the district averages but lower than the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% for the 2023-2024 school year was higher than the district average, and its dropout rate of 1.7% was lower than the district average. However, the school's MCAS proficiency rates were higher across all subject areas in the 2023-2024 school year compared to the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting a potential decline in academic performance.

The school's per-student spending for the 2020-2021 school year was $22,292, and it had a student-teacher ratio of 11.3 for the 2023-2024 school year.
