About the School
Massachusetts Academy of Math and Science (Mass Academy) is a public high school of excellence for 100 academically accelerated Massachusetts juniors and seniors. It was established in 1992 by the State Legislature to provide an enriching educational opportunity that emphasizes math and science in a comprehensive and interactive academic environment.
Tuition and Financial Aid
Every junior takes Mathematical Modeling, Physics, Humanities (which combines English and History), Computer Science, Foreign Language (French or Spanish), Science and Technical Writing, STEM I (Research), STEM II (Engineering/Assistive Technology), and Physical Education. Students prepare and present five major projects during the year in the following areas: math modeling (HiMCM), individual research (STEM Fair), group engineering/assistive technology (Design Review), foreign language film in the target language (Film Festival), and computer Apps For Good (App Fair).
Seniors enroll as full-time students at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, where they must successfully complete three WPI courses in each of four seven-week terms, for a total of 12 courses.
School Performance
Student performance data displayed below is from Next Generation MCAS results. For more data on schools, please visit the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) website. For schools with multiple campuses, the data below represents all schools in that network, not just the single school, unless otherwise noted. If data is not shown, it is not available for that school (e.g. the school might not serve any tested grades, or be too small to publicly release its scores).
IMPORTANT NOTE: DESE did not issue school, district, or state accountability determinations for the 2019-2020 school year due to the cancellation of state assessments and school closures related to COVID-19. As a result, there is no student performance data available from the state for school year 2019-2020.
