Summary:
The South Middlesex Regional Vocational Technical district in Massachusetts is home to a single high school, Joseph P Keefe Technical High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's performance data suggests it is facing some academic challenges, with declining MCAS proficiency rates and underperformance compared to state averages, particularly in mathematics.
Joseph P Keefe Technical High School has a four-year graduation rate of 93.7%, which is commendable, but its MCAS proficiency rates have declined across all subject areas from 2023-2024 to 2024-2025, with the largest drop in mathematics (from 36.73% to 29.2%). The school's proficiency rates in 2024-2025 were significantly lower than the state averages in all subject areas, with the largest gap in mathematics (29.2% vs. 44.6% state average). Despite these academic challenges, the school's relatively high spending per student of $26,598 in 2020-2021 suggests a focus on providing resources and support for students.
Without data on the school's free/reduced lunch rate, it is difficult to assess the socioeconomic demographics of the student population and how that may impact academic performance. However, the school's strong graduation rate and high spending per student indicate a focus on supporting student success, even as it faces declining MCAS proficiency rates and underperformance compared to state averages.
