Sussex County Technology Charter School is the sole middle school in the Sussex County Technology Charter School district, serving grades 6-8 in Sparta, New Jersey. The school has a student population of 220 and a relatively low student-to-teacher ratio of 9.6, suggesting a focus on personalized learning. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with strengths in Algebra I but challenges in other subject areas like Mathematics and Science.

Sussex County Technology Charter School is ranked 366 out of 743 New Jersey middle schools, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has fluctuated over the past few years, with rankings ranging from 366 to 426 and a 2-star to 3-star rating. While the school excels in Algebra I, with 77.4% of 8th graders proficient or better, it struggles in other subject areas, particularly Mathematics, where proficiency rates are well below the state average across all grade levels. The school's Science proficiency is also a concern, with only 14% of 8th graders proficient or better, compared to the state average of 18.8%.

The school's demographic data suggests that 18.64% of students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may indicate a need for additional support and resources to address potential socioeconomic challenges. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% is also worth monitoring, as it can have a significant impact on student learning and academic outcomes. Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $13,292, the data suggests that targeted interventions and resource allocation may be necessary to improve the school's overall performance and address its areas of weakness.
