Summary

Cape Cod Region Vocational Technical is a public vocational-technical high school in Harwich, MA, on Cape Cod, serving grades 9 through 12 with 682 students — the smallest school in its nearby comparison group. It offers a split picture for parents: very strong completion outcomes, but test-based performance that declined sharply in 2025–2026.

Completion outcomes are the school's clear strength. Its 98.1% graduation rate in 2024–2025 is the highest among nearby schools with available data, edging Sturgis Charter Public School (98.0%) and Monomoy Regional High School (97.4%). Its 0.6% dropout rate ties Monomoy for lowest, compared with 1.0% at Sturgis and Nauset Regional High, 3.2% at Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High, 4.8% at Sandwich Middle High School, and 8.5% at Barnstable High. Students from low-income families rank at the 77th percentile statewide, well above the school's overall 48th percentile, though that figure has softened from the 90th percentile in 2023–2024. Cape Cod also spends more per student than any nearby school ($25,363 in 2020–2021) and has a mid-range student-teacher ratio of 10.9.

The main watch item is test performance. In 2025–2026, Cape Cod's 10th-grade proficiency rates were 39.77% in English language arts, 38.29% in math, 44.77% in science, and 31.91% in biology end-of-course — below the state in every subject except science, which came in above the state's 40.50%. That reversed 2024–2025, when the school exceeded state averages in all four. The drop pulled its state ranking from 107th of 349 (69th percentile, 3 stars) to 185th of 353 (48th percentile, 2 stars). Monomoy Regional High School, just 1.48 miles away, ranks higher (120th of 353, 66th percentile) with stronger test scores, and Sturgis Charter Public School is the top nearby performer (59th of 353, 83rd percentile, 4 stars). Still, Cape Cod outperforms Barnstable High and Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High on rank, graduation, dropout, and most subjects.

Don't send your teen here! If your child goes here expect them to feel lonely. Poor special ed support. School is not flexible to meet students needs. School not capable of supporting students, they just want to blame parents. Very Very disappointed in this school. Close Quote
