Pathfinder Regional Vocational Technical

Pathfinder Regional Vocational Technical District is home to a single public high school, Pathfinder Vocational Technical, which serves 640 students in grades 9-12. The school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, lags behind the state averages, particularly in Mathematics and Science. However, the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 91.5% and a low dropout rate of 3.1%, suggesting that most students are successfully completing their high school education.

Pathfinder Vocational Technical's proficiency rates on the MCAS Next Generation assessments for 10th grade in 2023-2024 were 42.42% in English Language Arts, 29.7% in Mathematics, and 35.71% in Science, all of which fall short of the state averages. The school's proficiency rate on the MCAS Next Generation Biology assessment for all grades in 2023-2024 was 35%, also below the state average of 45.38%. These academic performance concerns suggest that the school may need to focus on improving student outcomes and ensuring they are meeting state standards.

Despite the academic performance challenges, Pathfinder Vocational Technical appears to have access to significant resources, with a per-student spending of $24,624 and a low student-teacher ratio of 9.3. This suggests that the school has the potential to provide a quality education, and the high graduation rate indicates that the majority of students are successfully completing their high school studies. However, the school's dropout rate of 3.1% is still noteworthy and may require further investigation and targeted interventions to support all students in completing their education.
