Summary:
The New Castle County Vocational-Technical School District in Delaware is home to 4 high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. These schools, located in the New Castle County area, aim to provide vocational and technical education to prepare students for careers or further education.
Among the schools in the district, St. Georges Technical High School stands out as the top performer. It consistently ranks 12th out of 41 Delaware high schools and earns a 4-star rating, outpacing the district and state averages on key metrics like test scores. In contrast, the other schools in the district, Delcastle Technical High School, Hodgson (Paul M.) Vocational Technical High School, and Howard High School of Technology, have lower rankings and ratings.
While the district-level performance is generally lower than the state averages, there is an opportunity to learn from the success of St. Georges Technical High School and apply those best practices to improve outcomes at the other schools in the district. Additionally, the high chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% across all 4 schools is a potential area of concern that may be impacting student performance and outcomes, suggesting a need for targeted interventions to address this issue.
