GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I am a senior in the engineering and robotics shop, and have had a decent 4 years here, although there were some rough spots along the way! Most of the bad things that I have experienced were to do with administration, and some teachers. Although there are still some great teachers left, a lot of the good teachers have left in the past few years unfortunately due to bad management as far as I know. Academic wise, the classes are real easy as long as you do your work, even the ap classes aren't that bad. There are lots of shops available and some are better than others lol, but you do get to experience all of them when you first start freshman year. Overall, I would give this school a solid 3 out of 5, it's not really an amazing place, but it really helps to make some good friends so that you can laugh your way out of the troubles! Ps. The lunch food is, at times, not exactly... "edible" :) Good luck!!

Nashoba Tech, NT, has been one of the best opportunities I've had. Going to a tech school helps you jump start your career, while you still have time in figuring out what you want to do in life. For some people, finding what their purpose is life is difficult, but schools like NT help them find their place.

I would not recommend this school if you are interested in their Programming and Web program. They have no clue what is going on. The students coming in are half interested, the program is not staffed adequately to handle the work load and the curriculum is way too much to get something meaningful o...

Forced into classes. Then told if you do not pay for the classes you can not graduate. Administration doesn't listen to the students or parents concerns and does whatever makes them look good. However it is a valuable experience to be able to have a technical area and have a greater understanding of...

A lot of the staff are pretty rude. If it's not their day, it's not your's either. The food served in the cafeteria was almost inedible, really couldn't get myself to eat the food offered, not even once. Higher quality fresh food would lead to higher productivity in the classroom.As far as the techn...
