Summary:
The Cape May County Technical High School District is home to a single high school, Cape May County Technical High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school's performance has fluctuated in recent years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 287 out of 429 New Jersey high schools in 2023-2024 to 369 out of 434 in 2024-2025. Its SchoolDigger rating has also varied, ranging from 1 to 2 stars out of 5 in the past three school years.
Academically, Cape May County Technical High School faces significant challenges. The school's proficiency rates on the NJSLA/NJGPA assessments are significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, particularly in core subjects like English Language Arts and Algebra. For example, in 9th grade English Language Arts, the school's proficiency rate was 17.7% compared to the state average of 49.9%. The school's proficiency rates in Geometry and Science were closer to the state averages, but still lagged behind.
Despite these academic challenges, the school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 33.62% in 2023-2024. However, the school's per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $17,443, which is higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio of 9.2 for the 2023-2024 school year is lower than the state average. These factors suggest that the school may be focusing on providing additional resources and support to its students, but the academic outcomes indicate that there is still room for improvement in the school's educational outcomes.
