Summary:
The Nashoba Valley Regional Vocational Technical area contains a single school: Nashoba Valley Technical High School, a regional vocational high school serving grades 9–12 with 767 students. Because there is only one school, district and school figures are usually identical, so parents here are evaluating one school rather than choosing among several. The school has a 12:1 student-teacher ratio and spent $20,822 per student in 2020–2021, both relatively favorable numbers for a specialized vocational program. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank in the data, so that context is unknown rather than zero.
Completion outcomes are the clearest strength. The graduation rate is 97.2% and the dropout rate is just 0.6%, meaning the school does an excellent job keeping students enrolled through graduation. Academically, Physics is the standout: 54.55% of students were proficient in 2024–2025 versus 44.25% statewide, the only provided test result where the school beat the state. Every other subject fell short, however. Tenth-grade ELA was 38.54% proficient versus the state's 45.48%, and tenth-grade Mathematics was 28.87% versus 43.73%. Biology was the weakest area: End-of-Course proficiency was 16.67% in 2025–2026, compared with 37.68% statewide, and the prior year's Biology result of 24.50% was also well below the state's 39.02%.
Trends point to some slippage. Tenth-grade Mathematics fell from 41.30% to 28.87% year over year, and Science dropped from 37.70% to 29.79%, while ELA stayed roughly flat. Rankings place the school in the lower portion of Massachusetts schools — 243rd of 353 in 2025–2026, with a district-level rank of 281st of 351 at the 20th percentile with 1 star. In short: strong completion outcomes and above-state Physics, but below-state proficiency in ELA, Math, Science, and especially Biology.
