Hoboken Charter School

Summary:

Hoboken Charter School is an alternative public charter school serving grades K-12 in the diverse city of Hoboken, New Jersey. With a student population that is approximately 50% White, 25% Hispanic, 9% African American, and 7% Asian, the school stands out as a high-performing institution that consistently outperforms nearby charter schools in key areas.

Hoboken Charter School boasts exceptional academic outcomes, with 4-year graduation rates ranging from 90.9% to 100% over the past 5 years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, a large majority (over 70%) of Hoboken Charter School students score proficient or better on state assessments in English Language Arts, and their math proficiency rates are also strong, particularly in the elementary and middle school grades. The school's low chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 6.8% to 15.2%, are lower than the state average and compare favorably to nearby charter schools such as Newark School of Global Studies, Great Oaks Legacy Charter School, and Marion P. Thomas Charter School.

Hoboken Charter School's success may be attributed to its low student-teacher ratio, around 10.5-10.9 students per teacher, which is lower than the nearby charter schools. Additionally, the school's diverse student population and relatively low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (around 21-26%) suggest that socioeconomic factors may play a role in the school's strong academic performance. Overall, Hoboken Charter School's consistent high performance, favorable comparison to other local schools, and stable educational program make it a standout choice for families in the Hoboken area.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
