Summary:
The Nashoba Valley Regional Vocational Technical district in Massachusetts is home to a single high school, Nashoba Valley Technical High School, which serves 750 students in grades 9-12. While the school's graduation and dropout rates are strong, with a 97% four-year graduation rate and a 1.8% dropout rate, its academic performance on MCAS exams lags behind state averages in several key subjects.
Nashoba Valley Technical High School's MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts (48.98%), Mathematics (35.2%), and Science (38.02%) fall below the state averages of 56.86%, 48.47%, and 49.26%, respectively. However, the school excels in Physics, with a proficiency rate of 69.64% compared to the state average of 51.54%. This suggests the school's specialized vocational-technical focus may contribute to its unique performance profile compared to traditional high schools.
Despite the school's academic challenges, its per-student spending of $20,822 and a student-teacher ratio of 11.6 to 1 indicate a well-resourced institution. The school's demographics show a predominantly White student population, with smaller percentages of other racial and ethnic groups. While the data does not suggest any correlation between the school's performance and its demographics, the district may want to consider ways to further diversify the student body and ensure equitable access and opportunities for all students.
