Summary:

The Connecticut Technical Education and Career System consists of 17 high schools located across various cities in Connecticut, serving students in grades 9-12. These schools generally perform below the state average in academic metrics, but a few standout institutions, such as Norwich Technical High School, Henry Abbott Technical High School, and Ella T. Grasso Technical High School, are exceptions, ranking among the top high schools in the state.

While the system as a whole has a high 4-year graduation rate of 88.4%, the chronic absenteeism rate across all schools is 17.7%, which is higher than the state average. The schools also exhibit a wide range of free and reduced lunch rates, from 36.13% at Henry Abbott Technical High School to 69.42% at Eli Whitney Technical High School, indicating diverse socioeconomic backgrounds among the student populations.

The student-teacher ratios at these schools range from 9.4 at A.I. Prince Technical High School to 12.6 at Platt Technical High School, suggesting the potential for more individualized attention and support for students, which could be leveraged to improve academic outcomes across the Connecticut Technical Education and Career System.
