Sussex County Technology Charter School

Sussex County Technology Charter School is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in Sparta, New Jersey, with a total enrollment of 220 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey middle schools, receiving a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally below state averages.

The school's student population is predominantly white (82.73%), with the next largest racial groups being Hispanic (7.27%) and students of two or more races (8.18%). Academically, the school struggles, particularly in mathematics, where the 8th-grade proficiency rate is just 4.9%, compared to the state average of 17.8%. Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6% is slightly higher than the state average, which could be a contributing factor to its overall academic performance.

Despite spending slightly more per student ($13,292) than the state average, Sussex County Technology Charter School appears to be facing significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its students. The school may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve outcomes for its students within the Sussex County Technology Charter School district.
