Summary:
ZIP code 02476 contains just one listed high school, Arlington High, which serves grades 9–12 and enrolls 1,677 students as part of the Arlington district in this Boston-area community. Since it is the only high school in the ZIP, the useful comparisons are against its own prior years, its district, and the state.
The school sits at the top of Massachusetts performance tables. The district ranks 17th of 351 statewide, at the 95th percentile with 5 stars, and Arlington High’s own rank history is consistently elite: 10th of 349 in 2024–2025 (97th percentile) and 16th of 353 in 2025–2026 (95th percentile), both 5-star. MCAS Next Generation proficiency in 2025–2026 was 78.19 in 10th-grade ELA, 82.96 in 10th-grade Mathematics, 73.62 in 10th-grade Science, and 80 for End of Course Physics, versus state rates of 45.48, 43.73, 40.5, and 46.58 respectively. Every reported subject clears the state average by more than 29 percentage points. Results also edge out district averages, by 0.14 to 1.29 points, suggesting a strong district-wide pattern rather than a single standout building.
Outcomes are strong: a 98.2% graduation rate (above the district’s 96.8%), a 0.5% dropout rate matching the district, a 13.6 student-teacher ratio, and $16,663 per-student spending from 2020–2021, which is background rather than current-year data. Two trends are worth watching. Tenth-grade Science fell 10.32 points, from 83.94 to 73.62, and ELA slipped 3.52 points, from 81.71 to 78.19 — both still far above state and district levels. Mathematics improved slightly, from 81.97 to 82.96, and shows the largest state advantage. Physics cannot be compared year to year because one figure covers End of Course and the other All Grades. Free/reduced lunch data is unavailable, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed from this record.
