Sussex County Technical School District

The Sussex County Technical School District has one listed school, Sussex County Technical School, a grades 9–12 high school in Sussex County with 672 students. Because there is only one school, there is no school-to-school leader or comparison. The most important concern for families is math proficiency, particularly the school’s much lower Algebra II results than the state’s.

The school’s strongest standout is graduation: in 2024–2025, 97% of students graduated, compared with 89% statewide, while its dropout rate was 0% versus 1% for the state. Academically, results were mixed. In 2025–2026, ninth-grade ELA proficiency was 55%, above the state’s 51%, while eleventh-grade ELA was 73%, below the state’s 76%. Math was weaker across the reported tests; the largest shortfall was Algebra II End of Course, with 5% proficient compared with 52% statewide, a 47-point gap. The 10th-grade Algebra II result was 6% versus 29% statewide.

Some results improved relative to the state, but that does not always mean the school’s score rose. Ninth-grade ELA increased from 47% in 2024–2025 to 55% in 2025–2026, moving from 3 points below the state to 4 points above it. By contrast, Algebra II End of Course fell from 24% to 5%; its gap with the state narrowed because the state score also dropped. SchoolDigger ranked the school 307th of 434 schools, at the 29th percentile, in 2025–2026, down from 259th and the 40th percentile the year before. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 12.8, and 24% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are context measures, not explanations for the results.
