Waltham Senior High faces several challenges compared to nearby high-performing schools. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts high schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance. Its 4-year graduation rate ranges from 80.6% to 84.1%, lower than the state average, and its dropout rate ranges from 10.2% to 13.7%, higher than the state average. On MCAS Next Generation assessments, Waltham Senior High students perform below the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 33.82% to 55.41%. In contrast, schools like Weston High, Lexington High, and Belmont High have much higher graduation rates (95.5% to 99.0%) and proficiency rates (74.52% to 93.99%).

Waltham Senior High's lower performance may be influenced by its higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, ranking in the bottom 10% of Massachusetts high schools for this metric. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with White and multi-racial students performing better than African American, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students. Addressing these challenges through targeted interventions and a focus on equity could help Waltham Senior High improve its overall performance and outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
