Summary:
The 07505 zip code in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Paterson P-Technical High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school is part of the Paterson Public School District, which is ranked 561 out of 609 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Paterson P-Technical High School has seen its statewide ranking decline in recent years, going from 296 out of 434 high schools in 2024-2025 to 365 out of 422 high schools in 2022-2023. The school's academic performance is generally below state and district averages, with only 29.4% of 9th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in 2024-2025, compared to 49.9% statewide. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (40%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.
Despite these challenges, Paterson P-Technical High School has a relatively high four-year graduation rate of 91.3% and a low dropout rate of 1.0% for the 2023-2024 school year. The school also has a higher-than-average spending per student at $14,806 and a student-teacher ratio of 14.2, suggesting that the school is investing resources in its students. However, these investments do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes for all students, and the school may benefit from targeted interventions and additional support to address its areas of concern.
