Summary:
The South Middlesex Regional Vocational Technical district in Massachusetts is home to a single high school, Joseph P Keefe Technical High School, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively diverse student population, its academic performance, as measured by MCAS test scores, is below the state average in several subjects, and its statewide ranking has declined in recent years.
Joseph P Keefe Technical High School's four-year graduation rate is 90.9%, and its dropout rate is 5.3%. The school's MCAS proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Biology are all below the state averages. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has dropped from 247th out of 342 Massachusetts high schools in 2021-2022 to 213th out of 348 in 2023-2024, indicating a relative decline in performance compared to other schools in the state.
Despite the school's below-average academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $26,598 (2020-2021), which could suggest a focus on providing resources and support for its students. However, the data suggests that this spending may not be translating into strong academic outcomes. The school's diverse student population could be a strength, but the data indicates that the school may need to focus on strategies to improve its academic achievement and better serve all of its students.
