The school posts a 9.8 in academics and a 9.9 in growth, signaling that students here don't just perform well, they improve at an accelerated rate. The numbers put that performance in sharp context.

High Tech High ranks first out of 422 high schools in New Jersey and first out of 2,463 public schools statewide, outperforming 100 percent of New Jersey schools.

For families in the Secaucus area, the choice is straightforward on paper: High Tech High is the top-ranked of the two public schools in town and the top-ranked public high school in the entire state. Parents comparing schools across Hudson County or beyond will find few data points that point higher than what this school consistently produces.
