South Hackensack School District

The South Hackensack School District in New Jersey is home to a single elementary school, Memorial School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 246 students. Despite being the district's sole school, Memorial School stands out as a high-performing institution, consistently exceeding state averages in academic proficiency and steadily improving its statewide ranking among New Jersey elementary schools.

Memorial School's academic excellence is particularly evident in its English Language Arts (ELA) performance, with proficiency rates ranging from 56.3% in grade 4 to an impressive 91.3% in grade 5, significantly higher than the state averages. The school's Mathematics proficiency, while more mixed, still shows strong performance in certain grade levels. Additionally, Memorial School's diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation, highlights the school's ability to serve and support students from various racial and ethnic backgrounds.

While Memorial School boasts impressive academic achievements, the district's chronic absenteeism rate of 12.9% at the school is an area that could benefit from further investigation and targeted interventions. Nevertheless, the relatively high spending per student ($14,711) suggests that Memorial School has access to adequate resources to support its educational programs and student needs, contributing to its overall success within the South Hackensack School District.
