Sussex Technical School District

The Sussex Technical School District in Delaware is home to a single public high school, Sussex Technical High School, which serves grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,323 students.

Sussex Technical High School is a strong-performing school within the state of Delaware, ranking among the top 20 high schools for the 2024-2025 school year. The school boasts a high four-year graduation rate of 88.9%, which exceeds the state average, and a relatively low dropout rate of 3.9%. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 20.4% is higher than the state average, which could be an area of concern. Academically, the school performs well in science and social studies, with proficiency rates above the state averages, but its mathematics proficiency rate of 11.31% for 11th graders is significantly lower than the state average of 18.4%.

With a student-teacher ratio of 14.5 and spending per student of $18,289, which is higher than the state average, Sussex Technical High School appears to have access to more resources that may contribute to its overall strong performance. While the school's academic achievements are commendable, the data suggests there is room for improvement, particularly in mathematics and addressing chronic absenteeism, to ensure all students at the school are reaching their full potential.
