What Algonquin Regional High School does

Algonquin Regional High School (ARHS) is a public regional high school operated by The Public Schools of Northborough and Southborough, a government school district governed by the Northborough-Southborough Regional School Committee under Superintendent Gregory L. Martineau. It serves students in grades 9-12 residing in Northborough and Southborough, Massachusetts, as the designated high school within a ten-school, three-district system that collectively educates approximately 4,200 students at a 12:1 student-teacher ratio with a 97% senior graduation rate. Other named district schools include P. Brent Trottier Middle School, Robert E. Melican Middle School, and seven elementary schools.

Instructional and administrative operations run on a vendor-supplied education technology stack: Canvas (Instructure) as the Learning Management System for ARHS, Trottier, and Melican; PowerSchool as the Student Information System with single sign-on and an Attendance Monitor for high school parents; and ParentSquare as the unified school-home communication platform with email, text, app notifications, two-way translation, and SIS-synced calendar and RSVP functionality, further extended by Google and Microsoft 365 SSO. Student devices are supported through a 1:1 Chromebook program, and supplemental instructional tools include ST Math (K-5), 99Math, ABCya, ALEKS, Khan Academy, Amplify, and Apex Learning under signed data privacy agreements. Safety and well-being are addressed through the district-wide Sandy Hook Promise "Say Something" anonymous reporting program for grades 5-12, extended day childcare programs (NEDP and SEDP), and dedicated offices for Belonging and Community Engagement, Instructional Technology, and Information Technology.

As a public entity, ARHS does not operate a commercial revenue model. Funding flows from local property taxes, Massachusetts state education aid, and federal grants, with no tuition charged to resident students; ancillary fee-based services are limited to extended day childcare, preschool, and specific activity fees. The customer base is structurally captive to in-district residents, distributed across persona segments for resident students, families and guardians, and students requiring special education or English language support. Revenue and ARR figures are not disclosed as entity-level financials, consistent with public-sector reporting, and pricing is not publicly listed.
