Mascenic Regional School District

Mascenic Regional School District serves approximately 875 students in three schools covering grades PK–12: Highbridge Hill Elementary School, Boynton Middle School, and Mascenic Regional High School. The district has a small-school setting, with about 363 elementary students, 260 middle school students, and 252 high school students.

Highbridge Hill Elementary School is the strongest overall performer and currently ranks in the 46th statewide percentile. Its mathematics and reading proficiency rates are both at the state average, with especially encouraging fourth-grade results. It also has a relatively low student–teacher ratio of 11.7. However, parents should note that the school’s ranking and mathematics performance have declined in recent years, making continued improvement an important priority. Boynton Middle School ranks lowest among the three schools, at the 21st percentile, and has the highest student–teacher ratio at 14.0. Its fifth-grade reading and seventh-grade mathematics results are bright spots, but sixth- and eighth-grade mathematics, along with science, are significant weaknesses.

Mascenic Regional High School has the district’s strongest reading performance, with 62% of students proficient compared with 55% statewide, and its graduation rate is slightly above the state average. At the same time, mathematics and science results are substantially below state averages, and the reported dropout rate is a serious concern. Across the district, reading is generally stronger than mathematics, while mathematics declined at all three schools between 2024–25 and 2025–26. Families may want to focus particularly on the transition into middle school, secondary mathematics and science support, and efforts to understand and reduce high school dropouts.
