Summary

Gr Lowell Regional Vocational Technical is a large regional vocational-technical high school in Tyngsborough, MA, in the Greater Lowell area, serving grades 9–12 with 2,314 students in the Greater Lowell Regional Vocational Technical district. In 2025–2026 it ranked 153rd of 353 Massachusetts high schools (57th percentile, 3 stars), a major improvement from the 20th percentile in 2015–2016. Its graduation rate is 98.6% and dropout rate 0.4%, among the strongest nearby. Only Westford Academy and Chelmsford High have slightly higher graduation rates, and only Westford has a lower dropout rate; it is far ahead of Lowell High (83.1% graduation, 11.8% dropout) and Dracut Senior High (90.9%, 5.3%).

Academically, results are mixed. Math (45.41% proficient) is above the state average and essentially tied with Tyngsborough High School and Innovation Academy Charter School; Biology (46.30%) is also above state. But ELA (37.23%) is below state and below most comprehensive neighbors, and Physics (27.27%) is nearly 19 points below state. Compared with Nashoba Valley Technical High School, the other regional vocational-technical school nearby, GLRVT is stronger in Math, Science, and Biology, with similar or slightly lower ELA. It sits below affluent neighbors such as Westford Academy and Chelmsford High but above Lowell High, Dracut Senior High, and Nashoba Valley Technical High School overall.

Per-pupil spending was $21,740 in 2020–2021, and its student-teacher ratio was 11.2 in 2024–2025—more spending and smaller classes than most comprehensive neighbors, likely reflecting vocational-technical costs. A notable strength is that low-income students rank at the 80th percentile and special-education students at the 62nd, both above the school’s overall 57th percentile, suggesting strong support for these groups. Watch items include the ELA decline, the Physics gap, and whether improvement continues. Bottom line: an improving, above-median school with exceptional completion outcomes and strong support for some student groups, but mixed test-score results.
