Tantasqua

The Tantasqua school district in Massachusetts consists of three schools: Tantasqua Regional Senior High, Tantasqua Regional Junior High, and Tantasqua Regional Vocational. The district serves students from grades 7 through 12, with a combined enrollment of 1,752 students.

Tantasqua Regional Senior High stands out as the academic standout in the district, ranking 101 out of 348 Massachusetts high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently performs well on MCAS Next Generation tests, with over 65% proficiency in ELA, Math, and Science for 10th grade. Additionally, it boasts an impressive 91.2% 4-year graduation rate and a low 6.1% dropout rate.

In contrast, Tantasqua Regional Vocational lags behind the district and state averages on academic metrics, despite having an even higher 95.3% graduation rate and a 2.8% dropout rate. This suggests a potential focus on vocational training over academic achievement. The school also has a concerning student-teacher ratio of 39.3, which may negatively impact the learning environment. Overall, the Tantasqua district appears to have a strong high school, but the vocational school and junior high could benefit from further analysis and potential improvements to better serve all students in the region.
