Summary:
Shawsheen Valley Regional Vocational Technical is a single-school district in Billerica, Massachusetts, serving grades 9–12 at Shawsheen Valley Vocational Technical High School, a regional vocational-technical high school with 1,282 students. Because Shawsheen Valley Regional Vocational Technical contains only this one school, every district-level number and school-level number in the data is the same.
The school's biggest strengths are completion and staffing. Its graduation rate is 98.1% and its dropout rate is 1.9% for 2024–2025, meaning nearly all students finish or stay enrolled. The student-teacher ratio of 9.8 is favorable. In 2025–2026, science proficiency was 41.23% versus the state's 40.50%, and Biology End of Course proficiency was 40.45% versus the state's 37.68%. The school's rank improved to 3 stars and the 51st percentile in 2025–2026, up from 2 stars and the 49th percentile in 2024–2025, though still below its 2023–2024 result of 3 stars and the 57th percentile. One inconsistency worth noting: the district-level rank listing shows 206 of 351, the 41st percentile and 2 stars, which is lower than the school's own latest rank history.
The main academic concern is mathematics. In 2025–2026, only 31.34% of 10th graders were proficient in math, against 43.73% statewide — a gap of 12.39 percentage points — and math fell from 39.66% the year before. English Language Arts also declined sharply, from 52.36% to 43.28%, dropping from 1.70 points above the state to 2.20 points below it. Parents should also know that free/reduced lunch information is not available, so socioeconomic context cannot be assessed, and the reported per-student spending of $24,777 dates from 2020–2021 and is historical rather than current.
