Madison Park Technical Vocational High School

What Madison Park Technical Vocational High School does

Madison Park Technical Vocational High School is a public secondary school operated by Boston Public Schools, located at 75 Malcolm X Blvd in the Roxbury neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. It serves grades 9-12 students (typically ages 14-19) across the Boston area through a portfolio of 20 career and technical education (CTE) programs organized into five sectors: Allied Health, Communications & Technology, Construction Trades, Human Services, and Transportation. Core programs include Dental Assisting, Medical Assisting, IT & Networking, Programming & Web Development, Media Production & Entertainment, Carpentry, Electricity, HVAC, Plumbing, Cosmetology, Culinary Arts, Automotive Technology, and Collision Repair. The school reports that 100% of seniors earn industry-recognized credentials, and select students graduate with an associate's degree through the RoxMAPP Early College dual-enrollment partnership with area colleges. Cooperative Education placements begin as early as junior year.

The school is not a commercial enterprise; it is publicly funded through the Boston Public Schools district budget and does not charge tuition. Its go-to-market motion is admissions-driven: recruitment runs through the BPS CTE admissions process, semesterly open houses, campus tours managed by an Admissions & Recruitment Manager, and community engagement events targeting Boston-area 8th graders and transfers. There is no disclosed revenue, no product pricing, and no external fundraising vehicle beyond occasional grants (e.g., a $110,000 Massachusetts Life Sciences Center grant in March 2017; a Bloomberg Philanthropies grant for the Trades Union pathway announced June 2026). Distribution-to-employment is supported by formalized partnerships with Building Pathways (50+ trade job pre-apprenticeship pipeline, signed May 2025 by Mayor Wu and Superintendent Mary Skipper), IBEW Local 103 (four electrical students annually enter the apprenticeship class), and the Boston Public Health Commission (healthcare career pathway). Student-produced media — the Voices of Madison Park podcast and The Cardinal news show — are distributed via WCBA 102.9 FM and the Boston Neighborhood Network.

Strategically, Madison Park is positioned for a capital and programmatic expansion phase. In December 2025, the Massachusetts School Building Authority invited Madison Park into the Core Program eligibility period, the first step toward a major campus redesign in Roxbury. The school competes within the constrained Boston public-school-choice market rather than a commercial market, so competitive dynamics center on enrollment share within BPS, employer pipeline access, and state/federal CTE funding rather than pricing or margins. Headcount is reported in the 101-250 range, consistent with faculty and staff at a single-site urban high school; specific student enrollment figures are not disclosed in the input data.
