Summary:
The Northeast Metropolitan Regional Vocational Technical district in Massachusetts serves students in grades 9–12 through a single high school, Northeast Metro Regional Vocational, located at 100 Hemlock Rd in Wakefield. Enrollment stands at 1,381 students. Because the district contains only one high school, district-level and school-level figures are identical for most metrics, so there is no other school in this area to compare against.
The school's strongest results are in completion. Its graduation rate was 98.4% in 2024–2025 with a dropout rate of just 1.2%, and its student-teacher ratio of 10.7 is favorable. Per-student spending was $21,830 in 2020–2021, though that older figure may not reflect current funding. Free or reduced-price lunch data is not reported, which limits context for interpreting results. Test proficiency is a weaker area: in 2025–2026, MCAS Next Generation proficiency was below the state average in every reported subject — English Language Arts at 37.46% versus 45.48% statewide, Mathematics at 34.75% versus 43.73%, Science at 29.74% versus 40.50%, and Physics End-of-Course at 27.52% versus 46.58%. Physics shows the widest gap.
Results declined from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026: ELA fell from 43.59% to 37.46%, Math from 42.05% to 34.75%, and Science from 45.37% to 29.74%. In 2024–2025, Math and Science had been close to state averages, making the latest drop notable. Rankings reflect this volatility — the school moved from #242 of 348 in 2023–2024 to #189 of 349 in 2024–2025, then slipped to #222 of 353 (37th percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–2026. A separate district snapshot lists #261 of 351, 26th percentile, 1 star, a discrepancy worth noting given the one-school district.
