Summary

Blue Hills Regional Vocational Technical is a public regional vocational-technical high school in Canton, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 910 students. It is the only school in the Blue Hills Regional Vocational Technical district, and its supplied district rank is 246th of 351 in Massachusetts. The school’s own rank history shows 209th of 353 in 2025-26, down from a peak of 109th of 347 in 2022-23. In 2025-26 10th-grade MCAS, Blue Hills scored 38.91% proficient in ELA, 34.87% in Math, 30.87% in Science, and 30.74% in Biology End of Course—all below state averages.

Completion is the standout: Blue Hills had a 98.2% graduation rate in 2024-25 and a 0.0% dropout rate, the highest graduation rate and tied-lowest dropout rate among the nearby schools listed. For comparison, Canton High had 96.1%, Milton High 97.7%, Braintree High 95.9%, Stoughton High 90.3%, and Randolph High 85.6%. That completion record is the school’s clearest differentiator. Yet on 2025-26 MCAS, Blue Hills trailed Canton, Milton, and Braintree and was roughly comparable to Stoughton in some subjects, while ahead of Randolph, Avon Middle High School, and charter schools in several areas.

Resources are high: per-student spending was $23,816 in 2020-21, near the top of the nearby group, and the student-teacher ratio was 11:1 in 2024-25. Those resources have not produced higher MCAS proficiency in the most recent year, though they may support the strong persistence and completion results. Subgroup results are uneven, with low-income and special education students ranking relatively stronger than the school overall while other groups rank lower; recent declines appear broad-based. Free/reduced lunch percentages were not available, spending data ends in 2020-21, and blank fields should be treated as unavailable rather than zero. Overall, Blue Hills is a mid-sized vocational school with exceptional completion outcomes and resource-intensive staffing, but its academic achievement is currently below state averages and below several nearby comprehensive high schools.
