Schools in Worthington
We rank high schools that report SAT results and elementary schools with grade 3 MCAS results, so some of the district's schools (middle schools, for example) aren't listed. Elementary ELA and Math are 2024–2026 averages of grade 3 results.
MCAS results
Share of students meeting or exceeding expectations, compared with the state. Statewide 10th-grade results dropped after 2024, when passing the MCAS stopped being a graduation requirement. There was no test in 2020.
DESE didn't report 2026 results for grades 4, 5 in this district, usually because too few students were tested, so they aren't shown.

Attendance
13.5 days absent per student (MA avg 11) · 5.1% missed 20% or more of school days
