Bay Path Regional Vocational Technical High School accounts for 100.0% of all Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational District student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational District a distant remainder — means Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: high. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational District student-counselor ratio is 594:1 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational District chronic absenteeism rate is 22.9% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational District is typically wider than the Southern Worcester County Regional Vocational District-aggregate figure suggests.
