Sussex County Technical School District

The Sussex County Technical School District in New Jersey consists of a single public high school, Sussex County Technical School, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 689 students.

While there is only one school in the district, an analysis of its performance reveals some areas of strength and potential challenges. The school's 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% is slightly higher than the state average, and its dropout rate of 1.0% is lower than the state average. However, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is higher than the state average. Academically, the school performs better in science and English language arts, with students scoring above the state averages in these subjects. In contrast, the school's mathematics performance, particularly in Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II, is significantly lower than the state averages, indicating a need for improvement in this area.

Socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's performance, as it has a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a higher per-student spending compared to the state average. Additionally, the school's ranking has declined from 209 out of 422 New Jersey high schools in the 2022-2023 school year to 259 out of 434 in the 2024-2025 school year, suggesting a potential decline in overall performance over time. While the school has some strengths, the data highlights the need for targeted interventions and support to address the identified areas of concern and improve the educational outcomes for students at Sussex County Technical School.
