Hoboken Public School District

The Hoboken Public School District in New Jersey consists of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The data reveals stark differences in academic performance across the district, with Joseph F Brandt Elementary School consistently ranking among the top 10% of New Jersey elementary schools and demonstrating exceptional academic achievement, while the middle and high school struggle, particularly in math.

The data suggests a correlation between socioeconomic status and academic outcomes, with schools serving higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients, such as Hoboken High School and Hoboken Middle School, tending to have lower academic achievement and higher chronic absenteeism rates. This highlights the need to address socioeconomic disparities within the district. Additionally, the consistently high performance of Joseph F Brandt Elementary School over the past 3 years provides valuable insights that could be applied to other schools in the district.

Across the district, math instruction appears to be a significant challenge, with low proficiency rates in math, particularly at the middle and high school levels. This suggests a need to evaluate and improve the math curriculum and instruction to ensure all students have access to a high-quality education. By addressing these identified areas of concern, the Hoboken Public School District can work towards providing equitable and high-performing educational opportunities for all students.
