Summary

Bergen County Technical High School - Paramus is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Paramus, New Jersey, with a student population of 277. While the school is part of the Bergen County Vocational Technical School District, which is ranked 125 out of 609 districts in the state, the performance of Bergen County Technical High School - Paramus is significantly lower than its peers.

The school has consistently low academic performance, ranking 379 out of 434 New Jersey high schools in the 2024-2025 school year and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. This is reflected in the school's test scores, which are well below the state and district averages. For example, only 9.6% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.9% and the district average of 88.2%. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as female and Hispanic students, but its special education students performed relatively better.

When compared to nearby high schools, Bergen County Technical High School - Paramus stands out as the lowest-performing. For instance, the nearby Applied Technology High School, which is also part of the Bergen County Vocational Technical School District, ranked 11 out of 434 New Jersey high schools in 2024-2025 and had significantly higher test scores across various subjects. Despite the school's relatively high spending per student of $27,339 in the 2018-2019 school year and its low student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for the students.
