Summary:
South Middlesex Regional Vocational Technical is a single-school district in Framingham, Massachusetts, serving grades 9–12 with one high school, Joseph P Keefe Technical High School, which enrolls 896 students.
For parents, the most important numbers are these: the school reports a 97.1% graduation rate and a 2.0% dropout rate for 2024–25, along with a 9.9 student-teacher ratio and $26,598 per-student spending for 2020–21. Its rank history has been stable at 2 stars and between the 35th and 39th percentile over the last three reported years; for 2025–26 it ranked 218 of 353, or 38th percentile. A separate district snapshot shows 258 of 351, or 26th percentile with 1 star, so the two ranking methods differ. MCAS Next Generation proficiency is below the state in every reported subject. Mathematics is the weakest relative area: 26.69% proficient in 2025–26 versus 43.73% for the state, a gap of 17.04 points, and 29.2% versus 44.6% in 2024–25, a gap of 15.4 points. Science and Biology are relative strengths, with Science only 1.39 points below the state in 2024–25 and 2.77 points below in 2025–26, and Biology within about 4.5 to 5.2 points of the state. ELA was 33.9% in 2025–26 versus 45.48% for the state, an 11.58-point gap.
Overall, Joseph P Keefe Technical High School shows strong completion outcomes and its closest state comparisons in Science and Biology, while Mathematics remains the largest gap and ELA is still well below the state average. The math gap widened slightly year over year, and ELA’s gap narrowed because the state’s ELA score fell more sharply than the school’s. The school’s rank has stayed at 2 stars and around the 35th–39th percentile, though the district snapshot suggests a lower current standing depending on the ranking method used. Free/reduced lunch data is not provided, so socioeconomic context is unknown and should not be treated as zero. Because this is a one-school district, district and school values for graduation, dropout, and MCAS scores match exactly.
