SchoolDigger Rank ?

of 434 New Jersey High Schools

Better than 94% of New Jersey high schools

Summary

Morris County School of Technology is a grades 9–12 high school in Denville, serving 885 students in the Morris County Vocational School District. SchoolDigger ranks it 27th of 434 New Jersey schools for 2025–2026, at the 94th percentile with 5 stars. Its clearest academic strength is 11th-grade science: 90% of students were proficient, compared with 79% in the district and 29% statewide—11 points above the district and 62 above the state.

The school’s results are strong against the state, but it does not lead its district or nearby schools in every subject. In 9th-grade English Language Arts, it scored 88%, just above the district’s 87% and well above the state’s 51%; its result was second among nearby schools with reported scores. In Algebra II, 92% were proficient—39 points above the state, but 4 points below the district. That was the highest reported nearby result, narrowly ahead of Parsippany Hills High School at 91%. Geometry is a relative weakness: the school’s 70% was slightly above the district’s 69% and state’s 50%, but several nearby schools scored higher. The nearby Academy for Mathematics Science and Engineering was ahead in science, at 100%.

Results have shifted over time: science rose 40 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while Algebra II gained 20 points across the four reported years. ELA and Geometry changed little overall, and Algebra I has fluctuated, recovering to 65% after falling to 51% in 2024–2025. The SchoolDigger percentile moved from 96th in 2023–2024 to 88th in 2024–2025, then rebounded to 94th. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 11.7, toward the higher end among nearby schools with reported figures. The school reported 8% free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the second-lowest comparable local figure; this is context, not an explanation for results. Graduation was 99.5% versus 99.7% in the district, and chronic absenteeism was 3%, compared with 14% statewide.

Update from my previous post: My son finished his 1st year at MCST with a major in Computers. We guessed right in what we thought the school would be like both in the positives and the negatives but overall we are extremely pleased with our choice. The + are that my son totally loves going to school, he loves his major, loves learning, the teachers are excellent, my son has a lot of pride in his school, the drama club is fantastic and there isn't a lot of clicks at the school. The negatives (which we had guessed correctly beforehand) was that the leadership (communication, principal, etc.) is poor and it is hard for the MCST kids to get together outside of school. The school does a poor job of having dances or social gathering. Yes, my son has developed friendships at MCST but not as many as if he had stayed at his home school of Kinnelon ( which is also a very good school). On a positive note about social is that the MCST students appear to be very good kids who don't get into trouble. The best part about MCST is that it like going to college in that MOST kids really care about their education because they are focusing on something they enjoy and again. Close Quote

Lots of amazing, attentive teachers, flexible and encouraging counselors/administration, campus energy, small class sizes, project-based learning style (as opposed to solely testing), technology-integrated assignments, and amazing CTE program... but lacks AP classes, there is inequality in grade weighting between academies, and there are very few extra-curricular programs (ex. no FBLA, NFHS, Academic Bowl, Math team, Art Club, Interact Club, Science Bowl, etc).
