Tantasqua Regional Vocational

Summary:

Tantasqua Regional Vocational is a public high school located in Fiskdale, Massachusetts, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 524. The school is part of the Tantasqua District, which is ranked 159 out of 351 districts in Massachusetts and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Tantasqua Regional Vocational's academic performance, as measured by MCAS test scores, is generally lower than the state average and its in-district counterpart, Tantasqua Regional Senior High. For example, in 2023-2024, only 37.98% of Tantasqua Regional Vocational's 10th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 65.16% at Tantasqua Regional Senior High. Additionally, the school has maintained high graduation rates, ranging from 95.1% to 98.3% over the past five years, but its dropout rates have been higher than the state average, reaching 2.8% in 2022-2023.

Tantasqua Regional Vocational has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 34.2 to 39.3 over the past three years, which is significantly higher than the 9.3 ratio at Tantasqua Regional Senior High. This suggests that the vocational school may not have access to the same level of resources or staffing as the traditional high school, which could be a contributing factor to the observed academic performance disparities.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
