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.

Worcester Technical High School gave me valuable, hands-on learning experiences. The best part was getting to learn real skills in different trades. The hardest part was balancing this with academics, especially in difficult classes like geometry. More academic and mental health support would make the experience even better.

The best parts of my school are the diversity, athletics, work loads and vocational programs. One thing I wish we had more of is electives, I wish I could've taken a theater elective. I also wish I could take a science and language class every year.

Great school with great trades and great people. The amount of opportunists you get going to a school like WTHS is incredible. As a senior I can't really think of any complaints. It's an amazing school

Worcester Tech should get a higher score than a THREE. The principal got a national award and it won a blue ribbon for education. I don't think this "false information" should be shown to people. At least keep your stats updated.
