Summary:
The Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational School District contains just one high school: Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School in Charlton, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 1,188 students. Because the district has only one school, school and district figures are usually identical, so the meaningful comparison is Bay Path versus Massachusetts state averages rather than against other local schools.
Bay Path looks strong on statewide rankings and completion. Its rank improved from 205 out of 348 (41st percentile, 2 stars) in 2023–2024, to 142 out of 349 (59th percentile, 3 stars) in 2024–2025, to 112 out of 353 (68th percentile, 3 stars) in 2025–2026 — placing it in the upper third of Massachusetts high schools. The district summary lists it slightly differently, at 115 out of 351 (67th percentile, 3 stars). In 2024–2025 the graduation rate was 98.9% with a 0.4% dropout rate, and the student-teacher ratio was a favorable 9.6:1. Per-pupil spending was $20,980 in 2020–2021, though no state or peer average is provided for context, and free/reduced lunch data is blank, so it should be treated as unknown rather than zero.
Academically, Bay Path beat state averages in most reported MCAS Next Generation measures. In 2025–2026 it led the state by 15.22 points in 10th-grade ELA (60.7%), 10.50 points in 10th-grade Mathematics (54.23%), and 10.59 points in 10th-grade Science (51.09%). Math showed the biggest year-over-year gain among comparable 10th-grade exams, up 9.75 points from 44.48% in 2024–2025; ELA rose 1.5 points and Science 3.87 points. The main watch item is Biology End of Course, at 35.77% versus the state's 37.68% — a 1.91-point gap. Note that the 2024–2025 Biology All Grades result of 55.69% covers a different grade grouping and is not directly comparable.
