Summary:
The Middlesex County Vocational and Technical School District in New Jersey is home to five high-performing magnet schools that consistently rank among the top schools in the state. These specialized public schools offer unique academic focuses and have demonstrated exceptional student outcomes.
Two schools stand out in particular: Woodbridge Academy Magnet School and Edison Academy Magnet School. Woodbridge Academy is ranked among the top 21 high schools in New Jersey, with a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, and boasts impressive proficiency rates in Algebra II and science. Edison Academy has also earned a 5-star rating and achieved 100% proficiency in Algebra II. Both schools have low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a relatively affluent student population.
While the district as a whole maintains a high four-year graduation rate of 91.1% and a low dropout rate of 1.2%, there are some areas for improvement, such as the 16.6% chronic absenteeism rate. Additionally, the performance on state assessments varies across the schools, with some outperforming the district and state averages, while others lag behind. This disparity suggests the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to these differences in academic achievement.
