Summary

Joseph P Keefe Technical High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Framingham, Massachusetts, with a student population of 871. The school is part of the South Middlesex Regional Vocational Technical District, which is ranked 267 out of 348 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Joseph P Keefe Technical High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts high schools, typically between 213-247 out of 342-349 schools, with a 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, with African American and English Language Learner students performing relatively well, while Female, Male, and Multi-racial students perform in the bottom half of the state. The school's four-year graduation rate has improved from 89.4% to 93.7%, but its dropout rate has also increased from 3.5% to 4.8%. Academically, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally below the state averages.

When compared to nearby high-performing schools like Weston High, Wellesley Senior High, and Dover-Sherborn Regional High, Joseph P Keefe Technical High School lags significantly in academic performance, graduation rates, and overall school rankings. However, the school's strong performance for African American, English Language Learner, Special Education, and Disabled students suggests it may have effective programs and support systems in place for these populations. As a technical high school, Joseph P Keefe Technical High School likely has a stronger focus on vocational and career-oriented education, which could contribute to its lower performance on standardized academic assessments but may provide valuable technical and career-readiness skills for its students.
