Summary

Nashoba Valley Technical High School is a public vocational-technical high school in Westford, Massachusetts, serving grades 9–12 with 767 students as part of the Nashoba Valley Regional Vocational Technical district, in a suburban area west of Lowell that draws students from several surrounding communities. Its latest SchoolDigger rank is 243rd of 353 Massachusetts high schools (31st percentile, 2 stars) for 2025–2026, while the district ranks 281st of 351 (20th percentile, 1 star).

Test proficiency is the clearest weakness. In 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation results, students scored 38.54% in 10th grade ELA, 28.87% in math, 29.79% in science, and 16.67% on Biology End of Course — below state averages in every reported subject. The gap with nearby suburban schools is large: Westford Academy, about 2.8 miles away, scored 76.21% in ELA, 80.10% in math, 78.09% in science, and 76.06% in biology, and Acton-Boxborough Regional High, Littleton High School, and Chelmsford High also scored far higher. Among vocational peers, Gr Lowell Regional Vocational Technical outperformed Nashoba Valley in math, science, and biology, though Nashoba Valley's ELA score was slightly higher. Nashoba Valley does score above Lowell High in ELA, math, and science.

Completion outcomes are the school's standout strength. The 2024–2025 graduation rate was 97.2% and the dropout rate 0.6% — competitive with high-performing suburban schools such as Chelmsford High and Westford Academy, and far better than Lowell High (83.1% graduation) or The Career Academy (48.1%). Classes are relatively small (12:1 student-teacher ratio) and per-student spending is high ($20,822 in 2020–2021). Keep in mind that results for student groups have swung widely from year to year, and the school's long-term rank has drifted down from the 51st–54th percentile in 2015–2017.
