Summary:
Gr Lowell Regional Vocational Technical is a public high school located in Tyngsboro, MA, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 2,302 students. As part of the Greater Lowell Regional Vocational Technical District, the school has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 191 out of 347 high schools in Massachusetts.
Gr Lowell Regional Vocational Technical has a relatively diverse student population, with 36.01% White, 34.58% Hispanic, and 18.33% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance is generally lower than the state averages, with 56.09% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 49.06% in Mathematics, and 39.96% in Science, compared to the state averages of 58.24%, 49.69%, and 46.78%, respectively. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking highly for African American and Hispanic students but very low for Asian and White students, as well as for English Language Learners and students with disabilities.
Despite the school's relatively high spending per student at $21,740 in the 2020-2021 school year, its academic performance is still lagging behind nearby high-performing schools like Westford Academy, which has significantly higher test scores and rankings. This suggests that factors beyond just funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and school leadership, may be contributing to Gr Lowell Regional Vocational Technical's challenges. The school's unique vocational focus may be a strength, but it does not seem to be translating into higher overall academic achievement compared to traditional high schools in the area.
