Summary

Cape May County Technical High School is a public high school in Cape May Court House, serving grades 9–12 and 587 students in Cape May County. Graduation is a strength: 95% of students graduated in 2024–2025, compared with 89% statewide. But 25% were chronically absent, versus 14% statewide. The clearest academic concern is math: in 2025–2026, Algebra I proficiency was 10%, 30 percentage points below the state’s end-of-course rate, and NJGPA math proficiency was 38%, 23 points below the state.

The school’s strongest result relative to the state was 11th-grade NJGPA English: 70% proficient, 5 points below the state rate. Its weakest relative result was Algebra I end-of-course, while science and other listed tests were also below state rates. School and district results match in the reported data, a gap of 0 percentage points. Results among nearby conventional high schools are mixed: the school ranked third-highest of six reporting end-of-course Algebra I and third-highest for end-of-course Geometry, but second-lowest for NJGPA math and third-lowest for NJGPA English. For graduation, it was close to Ocean City High School, which had a 95% rate.

Results have shifted unevenly: ninth-grade English rose from 25% in 2022–2023 to 36% in 2025–2026, though not steadily; Geometry fell from 57% to 40%, and NJGPA math dropped from 48% to 38%. SchoolDigger ranks the school 342nd of 434, at the 21st percentile with 1 star, up from the 15th percentile the prior year but below its 62nd-percentile standing in 2020–2021. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 8.7, and 41% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for how well the school serves White Students was at the 4th percentile in 2025–2026, compared with the school’s overall 21st percentile. Its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 68th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 20th in 2025–2026.

What people are saying

by a parent
Wednesday, April 13, 2016

This is a great school, my two kids love the teachers and the choice of academic and trade classes. The school is very tight nit. Both of my children and myself, were angry when the school was forced to stop giving an 'entrance exam' because someone's child failed. The test was basically a 5th grade level test! If a student entering 9th grade can't pass a 5th grade level test, the parents should have sued themselves for letting their child fail! My children feel that the ninth graders who entered this first year of non-tested students, are rude and lax in their pursuit of an education. Without the test to at least 'weed-out' the kids who didn't really want to be there in the first place, the school now has to accept any student who applies. I believe this will eventually drag the entire school down to the level of fighting and discontent my kids wanted to avoid in their 'home' school districts. It's a shame, I hope I'm wrong or that the Tech administration work to keep the school functioning at the higher level it's been and not allow it to sink to the lowest common denominator as the local school districts have done.
