The Hudson County Schools of Technology School District includes five schools serving grades 6–12: four high schools and one middle school, with 2,326 students combined. The middle school’s results stand out, while high-school results differ substantially from one school to another. For parents, the key takeaway is that the district’s overall picture can hide important school-by-school differences.
