High Schools in Brockton

The Brockton school district in Massachusetts is home to three high schools: Brockton High, Edison Evening Academy, and Huntington Therapeutic Day School. These schools serve students in grades 9-12 and exhibit notable differences in their academic performance, graduation rates, and resource allocation.

Brockton High, the largest of the three schools, has the lowest MCAS proficiency rates, with only 38.01% of students proficient or better in ELA, 18.76% in Math, and 22.41% in Science. However, it maintains a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 83.4% and a low dropout rate of 6.8%. In contrast, Edison Evening Academy has a much lower 4-year graduation rate of 53.9% and a high dropout rate of 30.7%, despite spending less per student than the other schools.

The standout school in the Brockton district is Huntington Therapeutic Day School, which has a very low student-teacher ratio of 6.2 and spends significantly more per student ($44,841) than the other schools. This specialized school has a higher 4-year graduation rate of 70% but also a higher dropout rate of 10%. These disparities in academic performance and educational outcomes among the three high schools highlight the need for targeted interventions and support to ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students in the Brockton district.
