District-Level NCES Analysis

Hudson County Schools of Technology School District operates 6 public schools serving 2,359 students, placing it among the smaller districts in New Jersey. The school portfolio breaks down into 5 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 2,329 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Hudson County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $39,555 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 46.4% local, 40.9% state, and 12.6% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $135,381 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 66/100, ranked #137 of 587 in New Jersey against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 4 of 6 schools offering Advanced Placement (34 AP courses district-wide), a 281.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 7.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 47.6% Hispanic or Latino, 22.7% White, 15.7% Asian across the district's schools.

County Prep High School accounts for 38.3% of all Hudson County Schools of Technology School District student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Hudson County Schools of Technology School District-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Variation between sub-units within Hudson County Schools of Technology School District is typically wider than the Hudson County Schools of Technology School District-aggregate figure suggests.

Hudson County Schools of Technology School District chronic absenteeism rate is 7.9% — low (typically associated with lower-than-average attendance disruption; districts in this range often have attendance interventions, robust transportation, or smaller catchments that reduce barriers)

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Lower values often correlate with smaller scale and population characteristics rather than higher resource budgets per se.
