Hackensack School District


Summary:

The Hackensack School District in New Jersey consists of 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. While some elementary schools, such as Nellie K. Parker and Fanny Meyer Hillers, are outperforming district and state averages in ELA and math, the academic performance at the middle and high school levels lags behind, particularly in math subjects.

The data reveals significant disparities in academic achievement, with the high school and middle school struggling to maintain proficiency rates on par with state standards. This suggests a need to investigate the factors contributing to the decline in student performance as they progress through the system. Additionally, the schools with the highest percentages of economically disadvantaged students, such as Jackson Avenue Elementary, tend to have lower academic proficiency rates, highlighting the potential impact of socioeconomic status on student learning.

Interestingly, the elementary schools with the best student-teacher ratios, like Fanny Meyer Hillers and Nellie K. Parker, also demonstrate higher academic performance, suggesting that maintaining appropriate class sizes may be a contributing factor to student success. Furthermore, the district-wide issue of high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 22.3% to 33.2%, is a significant concern that requires targeted interventions to address the root causes and improve overall academic outcomes for the Hackensack School District.
