Cape May County Technical High School District


Summary:

The Cape May County Technical High School District in New Jersey is home to a single high school, Cape May County Technical High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school has seen a concerning decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 153rd out of 405 high schools to 322nd out of 422 high schools. Despite a relatively high graduation rate of 96.9%, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is significantly below the state averages in key subjects like English Language Arts and Algebra I.

One of the school's most significant challenges is its high chronic absenteeism rate of 37.9%, which could be impacting student achievement. The school's diverse student population, with a predominantly white student body and significant Hispanic and smaller African American, Asian, Native American, and Pacific Islander representation, may present both opportunities and challenges in meeting the unique needs of different student groups. While the school's per-student spending of $17,443 is higher than the state average, the academic performance data suggests that the funding may not be translating into improved student outcomes.

Overall, the analysis of the Cape May County Technical High School data highlights several areas of concern, including the school's declining performance, academic achievement gaps, and high chronic absenteeism. The school's leadership and the Cape May County Technical High School District should closely examine these issues and develop targeted strategies to address them, with the ultimate goal of improving the educational experiences and outcomes for all students.
