Summary:
ZIP code 02368 — Randolph, Massachusetts, just south of Boston — contains exactly one high school: Randolph High, a grades 9–12 school serving 765 students as part of the Randolph district. Because there is only one school here, there are no local peers to compare against; the more useful yardsticks are how Randolph High stacks up against its own district, against Massachusetts as a whole, and against its own past three years.
Parents should know the school's profile is uneven but moving in the right direction. Mathematics is the standout: proficiency rose from 25.71% to 37.13% in a single year while the state slipped slightly, cutting the gap to statewide performance from about 19 points to 6.6 points. English language arts held steady at about 29.8%, which counts as relative improvement because the state's own ELA rate fell over 5 points. Biology (29.41%) is the one subject where Randolph High clearly outpaces its district (22.73%). The weak spots are in the physical sciences: physics sits at 11.65% against a state rate of 46.58% — roughly a quarter of the state level — and 10th-grade science fell to 17.36% versus 40.50% statewide.
Overall, Randolph High outperformed its district, whose statewide standing is the 8th percentile, in every subject but one. The school's own statewide percentile has risen three years running (15 → 19 → 26), though it remains in the bottom quartile of Massachusetts high schools. Graduation (85.6%) and dropout (8.2%) rates are close to the district's. Per-student spending is high at $18,907 (2020–2021) with a 14.1:1 student–teacher ratio, which suggests resources alone are not closing the science gap. Note that free/reduced lunch data is not reported, and the spending figure is several years old.
