Summary:
The Northern Berkshire Regional Vocational Technical district in Massachusetts is home to a single high school, Charles McCann Vocational Technical, which serves 520 students. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 94.8% and a low dropout rate of 2.6%, its academic performance lags significantly behind state averages.
In the 2024-2025 school year, Charles McCann Vocational Technical's proficiency rates were substantially lower than the state averages in English Language Arts (25.81% vs. 50.66%), Mathematics (14.63% vs. 44.6%), and Science (20.83% vs. 45.89%). The previous year's results also showed the school trailing the state in these core subject areas. Despite spending $25,282 per student, which is higher than the state average, the school's test scores and the Northern Berkshire Regional Vocational Technical district's overall ranking of 337 out of 348 in Massachusetts raise concerns about the quality of education being provided.
On a positive note, the school's student-teacher ratio of 10.7 is relatively low, which could indicate smaller class sizes and more individualized attention for students. However, the data suggests that Charles McCann Vocational Technical is a struggling school within a low-performing district, with significant room for improvement in academic achievement, particularly in core subject areas.
