Summary:
MET Career and Technical has one high school, Metropolitan Career Technical Center, serving grades 9–12, with 817 students. The school’s 2024–25 graduation rate was 97.3%, compared with 85.5% statewide. The most important finding is that, despite strong graduation, every latest reported proficiency result was below the state comparison.
There is no choice between higher- and lower-performing schools in this area: Metropolitan Career Technical Center is both the only school and therefore the area’s highest and lowest. Its graduation rate exceeded the state by 11.8 percentage points and the district rate by 0.4 points. In 2025–26, however, grade 11 SAT English language arts was 33.7% proficient versus 47.8% statewide, and SAT mathematics was 7% versus 23.5%. Grade 10 PSAT10 English language arts was 38.2% versus 56.0%, while mathematics was under 5% versus 29.3%. Grade 11 science was 12.9% versus 31.3%. English language arts was relatively stronger than mathematics, but no reported test result matched the state.
Recent matched test results show the school generally losing ground relative to the state. From 2024–25 to 2025–26, grade 10 English language arts fell from 43.2% to 38.2% while the state rose from 54.8% to 56.0%; the gap widened from 11.6 to 17.8 points. Grade 11 English language arts also declined, and grade 10 mathematics fell from 5.5% to under 5% as the state result rose. One exception is science: the school’s all-grades result increased from 10.8% to 12.9%, though the supplied earlier figure does not allow a comparison of the state gap. SchoolDigger lists the school at 45 of 61, in the 26th percentile, with one star; its percentile fell from 36 in 2023–24 to 29 in 2025–26. The school reports an 11.6 student–teacher ratio and a 71.85% free/reduced-lunch rate, which provide context but do not explain outcomes. Because the area has only one school, there are no meaningful school-to-school comparisons.
