Summary

Upper Cape Cod Vocational Technical is a public regional vocational-technical high school in Bourne, MA, serving grades 9–12 with 838 students as part of the Upper Cape Cod Regional Vocational Technical district. Its enrollment is larger than Bourne High School, Mashpee Middle-High School, Old Rochester Regional High, Carver Middle/High School, and Falmouth High, though smaller than Plymouth North High, Plymouth South High, and Sandwich Middle High School. Its most recent rank is 245 out of 353 Massachusetts high schools (31st percentile, 2 stars), down from 169 out of 349 (52nd percentile, 3 stars) the year before.

The school's clearest strength is completion. Its 2024–2025 graduation rate of 98.9% is the highest among nearby high schools, and its 1.1% dropout rate is among the lowest. Resources also look favorable: a 9.7 student-teacher ratio and $25,412 per-pupil spending, the highest in the nearby comparison group. Compared with Bourne High School, less than a mile away, Upper Cape gives up ground on current test scores but posts a much stronger graduation rate (98.9% vs. 91.5%) and a lower dropout rate (1.1% vs. 4.9%).

Academics are the inconsistent area to watch. In 2025–2026, 10th-grade MCAS proficiency was below the state in every major subject: ELA 25% vs. 45.48%, math 31.19% vs. 43.73%, science 35.65% vs. 40.5%, and Biology End of Course 20.75% vs. 37.68%. ELA was lower than every nearby 10th-grade result, and the school ranked ahead of only Wareham Senior High in the nearby group. Yet in 2024–2025, Upper Cape exceeded the state in math (45.93% vs. 44.6%) and science (50.96% vs. 45.89%), so the latest year looks more like a sharp dip than a settled floor.
