With a total enrollment of 1,125 students, the school appears to be a relatively average-performing institution based on the available data.

The school's overall SchoolDigger rating of 1 out of 5 stars indicates it is performing below average compared to other high schools in Pennsylvania. Additionally, the high percentage of students (56.89%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch suggests the school may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance.

While Dauphin County Technical School faces some challenges, the data suggests there are opportunities for improvement.
