Summary:
The Hudson County Schools of Technology School District operates four high schools that serve students in grades 9-12. These schools have demonstrated strong academic performance, with two schools, County Prep High School and High Technical High School, consistently ranking among the top 60 high schools in New Jersey over the past three years.
County Prep High School and High Technical High School stand out as the top-performing schools in the district, with impressive 4-year graduation rates of 91.3% and low dropout rates of just 1.0%. These schools significantly outperform the district and state averages on standardized test scores, with County Prep achieving 91% proficiency in 9th grade ELA and 89.6% in 11th grade math, and High Technical High School reaching 94.5% proficiency in 9th grade ELA and 78.1% in Algebra I.
The other two high schools in the district, Academy of Career and Technical Education and Academy of Technology Design, while still maintaining solid graduation and low dropout rates, lag behind the top-performing schools in terms of academic achievement. The district may need to examine the curriculum, instruction, and support provided at these lower-performing schools to help bring them up to the level of their higher-achieving counterparts.
