Dighton-Rehoboth Ranked Among Top High Schools

Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School has been recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the top high schools in the nation, ranking 3,494 out of nearly 25,000 public high schools.

This places DRRHS in the top 15 percent of high schools nationwide, and 120th within Massachusetts.  

“This national recognition is a reflection of the incredible opportunities available to our students at Dighton-Rehoboth Regional High School,” Superintendent Bill Runey said Monday. “From rigorous academics and Career and Technical Education programs to championship athletics, award-winning arts, nationally recognized theatre, and inclusionary activities, DRRHS is a place where every student can thrive. Being ranked among the top 15 percent of high schools nationwide validates the hard work of our staff and students, and it reinforces our district’s vision to Empower, Ignite, and Shape. Together… We Are DR.”

U.S. News & World Report evaluates schools using a comprehensive, data-driven approach. Rankings are based on six key measures of school quality: College Readiness, College Curriculum Breadth, State Assessment Proficiency, State Assessment Performance, Graduation Rate, and Performance Among Underserved Students. 

“What makes DRRHS truly special is the balance we strike between academic rigor and the wide range of experiences we offer our students,” said Principal Dustin Demers. “Our CTE programs give students real-world skills, our athletic teams compete at championship levels, our Theatre Company has earned national recognition, and our arts programs put students in the spotlight across the state. Just as importantly, our commitment to inclusivity through Best Buddies, Unified Athletics, and Special Olympics ensures that every student is valued. Rankings like this highlight the outstanding work that happens here every day.  There is something for everyone at DRRHS.”
