The district's performance is mixed, with some standout schools like Secaucus High School and Clarendon School outperforming others in the district.

Secaucus High School is ranked 228 out of 434 New Jersey high schools and has a 2-star rating, but it stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% and a low dropout rate of 1.0%. However, the school performs below the state average in Math and Science proficiency, suggesting a need to focus on improving those subject areas.

The district as a whole faces some challenges, such as a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% across all schools. Additionally, there is significant variation in spending per student, ranging from $7,790 at Huber Street School to $12,407 at Secaucus High School, suggesting a need to examine resource allocation and equity within the district. Overall, the Secaucus School District has some strong-performing schools, but also faces areas for improvement to ensure all students receive a high-quality education.
