High Schools in Peabody

The Peabody Veterans Memorial High School is the sole high school located in Peabody, Massachusetts. With an enrollment of 1,476 students, the school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Massachusetts high schools over the past 3 years, ranking 263rd out of 348 in the most recent year. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts (37.38%), Mathematics (34.98%), and Science (37.28%), falls significantly below the state averages.

While the school's 4-year graduation rate of 86.9% is slightly below the state average, its dropout rate of 5.6% is higher than the state average, indicating that a larger proportion of students are not completing their high school education. The school spends $18,139 per student, which is higher than the state average, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes, suggesting a need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and spending priorities.

Overall, the data suggests that Peabody Veterans Memorial High School is underperforming compared to the state average on several key metrics, including academic proficiency, graduation rates, and statewide rankings. The school's leadership and the Peabody school district may want to investigate the root causes of these challenges and develop targeted strategies to improve the school's performance and outcomes for its students.
