Summary:
Salem County Vocational Technical School District has one school, Salem County Career and Technical High School, serving grades 9–12 in Salem County, with 754 students. Since it is the district’s only school, there are no local school-to-school rankings to compare. The most important finding is that its results are mixed: it is above the state on both reported NJGPA measures, but has substantial shortfalls on some NJSLA math results.
Salem County Career and Technical High School is both the sole group leader and the sole trailer. Its clearest relative strengths are NJGPA Grade 11 ELA, at 79% proficient versus 76% statewide, and Mathematics, at 64% versus 61%; the reported leads are 4 and 3 percentage points.
