GoLocalWorcester News Team
GoLocalWorcester's 3rd Annual Massachusetts' Top High Schools 2014 is the proprietary ranking that crunches thousands of pieces of data from 372 public, charter and technical schools statewide to reveal how our communities' schools provide for their students.
With school quality a cornerstone of real estate values and a crucial element of civic pride, this quantitative analysis of each school provides a sweeping and comprehensive view of the secondary school educational landscape in Massachusetts.
To hear from Massachusetts realtors about the importance of school quality to homeowners, go here.
GoLocal employs a formula developed at Babson College to assess and weight each school's latest MCAS and SAT scores, plus per pupil funding, student-teacher ratios, and graduation rates. All data is the latest available from the Massachusetts Department of Secondary and Elementary Education's data bases, current as of June 2014.
To read more about GoLocal's methodology, go here.
Note: Schools that did not submit complete MCAS and SAT data were not ranked.
