Summary:
Schools in Franklin County Regional Vocational Technical make up a single-school district: one high school serving grades 9–12, with 0 elementary, 0 middle, and 0 alternative schools in the data set. That school is Franklin County Technical, located at 82 Industrial Blvd in Turners Falls, with 643 students enrolled. Its student-teacher ratio is 11.7:1 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $25,298 in 2020–2021; the free/reduced lunch percentage is not reported in this record. Because the district contains only one school, district and school figures for graduation, dropout, and MCAS testing are identical — every district result is also this school's result.
Completion outcomes are the relative bright spot: the graduation rate is 93.8% and the dropout rate is 5.6% in 2024–2025. Academic proficiency is a different story, with results below the state in every reported MCAS subject in 2025–2026. The smallest gap is Biology End of Course at 33.72% proficient versus a state value of 37.68%, a difference of 3.96 percentage points. The largest is Physics End of Course at 20.93% versus 46.58%, a gap of 25.65 points. Tenth-grade ELA is 21.39% against 45.48% statewide, Mathematics is 23.98% against 43.73%, and Science is 27.44% against 40.50%.
Trends are mixed rather than uniformly negative. For comparable 10th-grade subjects, ELA fell from 33.77% to 21.39%, Mathematics was essentially flat at 23.87% to 23.98%, and Science rose from 20.81% to 27.44%. Statewide, the district ranks 309 of 351, at the 12th percentile with 1 star. The school's own rank improved slightly from 277 of 349 in 2024–2025 to 268 of 353 in 2025–2026, with its percentile rising from 21 to 24, though both remain below 2023–2024's 216 of 348 and 38th percentile, when it held 2 stars.
