Summary:
Northeast Metro Regional Vocational Technical District is a public school district in Wakefield, Massachusetts, serving one high school, Northeast Metro Regional Vocational, which enrolls 1,343 students in grades 9-12. The district is ranked 230 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Despite the school's high 97.3% four-year graduation rate, which is significantly higher than the state average, its academic performance in core subjects lags behind. The school's 10th-grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (43.59%), Mathematics (42.05%), and Science (45.37%) are all lower than the state averages. The school's physics proficiency rate of 29.13% is particularly concerning, as it is significantly lower than the state average of 44.25%. These declining test scores suggest the school may need to focus on improving its academic performance, particularly in STEM subjects.
Despite the lower test scores, the school's high graduation rate and relatively high spending per student ($21,830) and low student-teacher ratio (11.1) indicate that it has the resources and support to help students succeed. As a regional vocational technical school, Northeast Metro Regional Vocational likely has a strong focus on career and technical education, which may contribute to its high graduation rate but lower academic proficiency in some subjects compared to the state average.
