Hutchinson Central Technical High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New York high schools, ranging from 593rd to 737th out of 1,190 to 1,234 schools over the past 10 years. The school maintains a 2-3 star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, indicating below-average performance compared to other New York high schools. While the school performs relatively well for African American and Hispanic students, it struggles with Asian, White, and Multi-racial student performance, as well as lower rankings for English Language Learners, Special Education students, and Low Socioeconomic Status students. The school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated between 70.3% and 85.4%, which is below the state average, and its dropout rate has ranged from 4.1% to 11.0%, also higher than the state average. Additionally, Hutchinson Central Technical High School has a very high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 31.5% to 71.6% in recent years, significantly above the state and district averages.

Compared to nearby schools, Hutchinson Central Technical High School generally outperforms other high schools in the Buffalo City School District, such as Leonardo Da Vinci High School, Buffalo Academy for the Visual & Performing Arts, and Lafayette International School, which all have lower statewide rankings and test scores. However, the school lags behind the highly-ranked City Honors School, which is also part of the Buffalo City School District, in terms of academic performance and student outcomes. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, likely contributes to its lower academic performance and higher rates of chronic absenteeism and dropout compared to the state averages.

Open Quote I have 2 daughters who have attended and graduated from Technical. Both were well prepared to enter the next phase of their lives. They were taught to be self starting thinkers. It is important for young people to be shown that they can discover themselves in the world that we live in. Both girls are well on their way to making their mark in the world. Thank You, Technical.
