Summary:
The Weehawken Public School District operates three schools, including two elementary schools (Daniel Webster School and Theodore Roosevelt School) and one high school (Weehawken High School). The district serves a diverse student population, with significant representation of Hispanic, White, and other racial/ethnic groups, as well as a relatively high proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
Weehawken High School stands out for its impressive 99.1% 4-year graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, indicating strong student retention and success. However, the school's performance on NJSLA tests is mixed, with stronger results in English Language Arts (ELA) compared to Mathematics. In contrast, the elementary schools, Daniel Webster School and Theodore Roosevelt School, have lower NJSLA scores, with some grades performing below the state average, and Theodore Roosevelt School has seen a decline in its statewide ranking.
The district's diverse student population and high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggest a need to address the educational and socioeconomic needs of economically disadvantaged students. While Weehawken High School demonstrates strengths, the district faces challenges in maintaining consistent academic achievement, particularly in Mathematics, across all its schools.
