Summary:
The Smith Vocational and Agricultural High is the sole high school located in the Northampton-Smith Vocational Agricultural district in Massachusetts. Serving grades 9-12, the school has a total enrollment of 566 students and is part of a district ranked 297 out of 351 in the state.
While the school's four-year graduation rate is relatively high at 92.1%, its academic performance as measured by MCAS Next Generation proficiency rates is generally lower than the Massachusetts state averages, particularly in mathematics and English language arts. The school's per-student spending of $23,303 is relatively high, but this does not appear to be translating into improved student outcomes. The school's dropout rate of 6.5% is also a concern that warrants further investigation.
Overall, the data suggests that Smith Vocational and Agricultural High has room for improvement in academic achievement, particularly in core subject areas. Exploring ways to better support student success and address the factors contributing to the school's lower-than-average proficiency rates could be a focus for the district and school leadership.
