Academic Performance & Context
Tyngsborough’s four-year graduation rate was 97.1%. MCAS results, graduation rates, and accountability data are published and updated each year by DESE. Because these change annually, this guide links to the live state profile rather than reprinting numbers that quickly go stale.
One number here is a civics fact rather than an education one. Per-pupil spending is not set in this building or by the Superintendent. The Superintendent proposes the school budget, the elected School Committee votes it, and then it goes to Town Meeting with the rest of the town’s spending, in the same room, on the same night, decided by the same registered voters. At the 2026 Annual Town Meeting that room passed Article 6, the general fund appropriation for fiscal year 2027, which the town’s own explanation describes as a budget with no new positions and a slight decrease from level service. If you want to change what a Tyngsborough classroom has in it, that is the room.
