Hoboken High School Scores a 22.7 out of 100 on New Jersey Department of Education Rating System- 17th percentile in the State of New Jersey

Hoboken High School, Hoboken NJ 

In January of 2018, a new rating system devised by the New Jersey Department of Education and in compliance with federal laws, assigned a score to all 2000 of New Jersey's public schools with a score of 1 to 100 with 100 being highest. Unfortunately, the scores are not part of the summary reports and are instead embedded in the more detailed school report of each school. This overall 1-100 score combines standardized test results, graduation rates, and chronic absenteeism. 

The New Jersey Department of Education said it designed the new ratings to comply with the Every Student Succeeds Act, the new federal education law that replaced No Child Left Behind. 

The law requires states to "meaningfully differentiate" schools' performance based on a variety of metrics and publish that information on school report cards, said Julie Woods, a policy analyst for the Education Commission of the States, which tracks state policy.
