Summary:
Zip code 02332 contains exactly one high school: Duxbury High, a grades 9–12 school with 808 students in the Duxbury district. Because there is only one high school here, there are no in-area school-to-school comparisons; the meaningful comparisons are this school against its district, against the state, and against its own past performance.
The school is strong on every headline measure. It ranks 46th of 351 districts (87th percentile, 4 stars), 44th of 353 schools in 2025–2026 (88th percentile, 4 stars), and 42nd of 348 in 2023–2024 (88th percentile, 4 stars). Its 2024–2025 year was exceptional: 9th of 349, 97th percentile, 5 stars. Graduation is 99.1% (district 98.2%) and dropout is 0.5% (district 0.4%), with a favorable 9.9-to-1 student-teacher ratio. Per-student spending was $17,414 in 2020–2021, offered as context only since no state comparison is included here. MCAS Next Generation proficiency is well above state averages in every reported subject and year — for example, 2025–2026 Math was 75.65 versus the state's 43.73, and 2024–2025 Math was 89.60 versus 44.60.
Two patterns matter for parents. First, 2024–2025 was the outlier peak; the 2025–2026 rank of 44th closely matches 2023–2024's 42nd, so the school reads as consistently strong rather than newly declining. Second, 10th-grade ELA, Math, and Science proficiency fell roughly 12–14 points from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, but district declines were slightly larger and state ELA and Science also dropped. The school matches or slightly exceeds its district, and Science is consistently above it. Note that the free/reduced lunch percentage is blank, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed; it should not be read as zero.
