Summary

Upper Cape Cod Vocational Technical is a public high school in Bourne, Massachusetts, serving 826 students in grades 9-12. As part of the Upper Cape Cod Regional Vocational Technical District, the school offers a unique curriculum focused on career-oriented programs and hands-on learning.

The school's performance has been variable over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 169 to 245 out of Massachusetts high schools and its SchoolDigger rating fluctuating between 1 and 3 stars. While Bourne High School and Sandwich Middle High School have generally outperformed Upper Cape Cod Vocational Technical on state assessments, the school has maintained high graduation rates, ranging from 97.4% to 99.4%, and low dropout rates, between 0.6% and 2.6%.

One of the school's strengths is its performance for specific student subgroups, such as Hispanic students and students with disabilities, which have ranked higher than the state average. However, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science have been lower than the state averages, suggesting a need to balance its vocational focus with strong academic outcomes. With its higher per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratio, Upper Cape Cod Vocational Technical offers a unique educational experience that may be of interest to families seeking a more specialized learning environment for their children.
