Academic Programs

Greater Lowell Technical High School’s academic programs are designed to provide the best possible academic instruction for students that will prepare them for their future. The goals of the academic programs include helping students reach their full potential with an engaging and rigorous curriculum and instruction in each of the academic programs of English Language Arts, mathematics, physical education/health, science, and social studies.

All of our core courses are aligned with the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks and prepare students for success on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS).

Course placement for students is determined based on the individual needs of each student taking into consideration: teacher recommendations, grades, district and state assessments, student interest, parent input, and the school counselor’s professional guidance based on all factors. The academic levels available at Greater Lowell Technical High School are as follows:
