High Schools in Quincy

The Quincy area is home to two high schools: Quincy High and North Quincy High. Based on the available data, North Quincy High appears to be the standout school, consistently outperforming Quincy High and the Quincy district average on key metrics.

North Quincy High boasts a higher statewide ranking, a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, and significantly better proficiency rates on MCAS tests across all subjects compared to Quincy High. Additionally, North Quincy High has a much lower dropout rate (0.9%) and a higher graduation rate (95.6%) than Quincy High (3.2% and 91.7%, respectively).

While Quincy High spends slightly more per student and has a lower student-teacher ratio, these factors do not seem to translate into better academic outcomes. The stark difference in performance between the two schools suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as school leadership, teacher quality, and educational programs, may be more influential in driving student success.
