Summary:
The city of Sussex, New Jersey is home to two schools: High Point Regional High School District and Sussex Middle School. These schools serve students from grades 9-12 and 6-8, respectively, providing educational opportunities in the Sussex area.
High Point Regional High School District stands out with a relatively high graduation rate of 91.3% and a lower dropout rate of 1.0% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school also performs above the state average in English Language Arts proficiency for 9th-grade students and spends a relatively high amount of $18,626 per student. In contrast, Sussex Middle School has a lower student-teacher ratio of 9.2 and also performs above the state average in English Language Arts proficiency for 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade students.
Both schools, however, face challenges in mathematics proficiency, particularly in Algebra I and Geometry, where they perform significantly below the state average. Additionally, both schools have relatively high chronic absenteeism rates of 14.9%. While High Point Regional High School District has access to more resources with its higher spending per student, addressing the common issues of mathematics performance and chronic absenteeism could be areas of focus for improving overall student outcomes in the Sussex school district.
