Summary:
Blackstone Valley Regional Vocational Technical is a single-school district in Upton, Massachusetts, home to one high school serving grades 9–12 with 1,243 students. Since Blackstone Valley is the only school in the district, district-level numbers mirror the school exactly, so there are no other local schools to compare against — the useful benchmarks are state averages and the school's own past results.
The standout strengths are completion outcomes and physics. Blackstone Valley reports a 100.0% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate for 2024-2025, the clearest signs of strong student retention and support. In 2025-2026 MCAS Next Generation results, the school beat the state in 10th-grade English language arts (49.84% vs. 45.48%), mathematics (48.05% vs. 43.73%), science (45.30% vs. 40.50%), and End-of-Course physics (61.26% vs. 46.58%) — a +14.68 percentage-point lead in physics. The prior year's physics result, 65.77% versus 44.25% statewide, reinforces that physics is a signature strength.
Two trends are worth watching. First, proficiency fell from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026 in every subject: ELA dropped 15.53 points, science 10.95, mathematics 7.11, biology 8.96, and physics 4.51. The state also declined, but the school's drops were larger, so its edge narrowed. Second, biology is the only latest subject below the state, at 35.96% versus 37.68%. Rankings also slipped, from 4 stars and the 74th percentile in 2023-2024 to 3 stars and the 64th percentile in 2025-2026. Note that biology and physics changed from "All Grades" to "End of Course" reporting, so those two comparisons are not perfectly like-for-like. Resource context is limited: per-student spending is $21,626 (2020-2021, dated) and the student-teacher ratio is 11.2, but free/reduced-lunch data is not reported, so no poverty-adjusted interpretation is possible.
