Summary

Whittier Regional Vocational is a grade 9–12 regional vocational technical high school in Haverhill, MA, serving about 1,285 students. In the district summary, Whittier Regional Vocational Technical is listed at 205th of 351 Massachusetts districts (42nd percentile, 2 stars), while its school-level rank history shows 171st of 353 schools in 2025–2026 (52nd percentile, 3 stars). Over the past decade, Whittier Regional Vocational has generally been mid-pack, ranging from the 38th to 67th percentile and averaging around the 51st percentile.

Completion outcomes are the clearest strength. The school’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was 99.0%, the highest among nearby comparison schools, and its 0.6% dropout rate was the lowest among regular comprehensive/regional high schools in that group. For context, North Andover High had a 96.8% graduation rate and 1.8% dropout rate, while Methuen High and Haverhill High had graduation rates of 91.9% and 88.4%, respectively. The school also has favorable resources: a 10.3 student-teacher ratio for three reported years and $21,631 per-pupil spending in 2020–2021, higher than every nearby regular high school in the comparison set.

On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, Whittier Regional Vocational scored 41.03% proficient in 10th-grade ELA, 40.18% in Math, 42.09% in Science, and 38.58% in Biology. That was below the state in ELA and Math but above the state in Science and Biology. The school outperformed Methuen High and Haverhill High, and was competitive with Triton Regional High School, but trailed higher-performing nearby districts such as Newburyport High, North Andover High, Georgetown High School, Amesbury High, and Pentucket Regional Senior High. The biggest recent concern is a sharp 2025–2026 drop: 10th-grade ELA fell from 61.73% in 2024–2025 to 41.03%, pulling the school’s rank from the 67th to the 52nd percentile. Subgroup results show notable strengths for low-income and special education students, often in the 70th–80th percentile range, though other groups were closer to average or below in the latest year. As a regional vocational technical school, its mission and pathways may not be perfectly comparable to comprehensive high schools.
