The following are the scores and ranks for the 2018 New Jersey PARCC Mathematics assessments. The information provided here supplies 1) the total number of public schools ranked for each grade level in New Jersey; 2) the rank of each district in Hoboken by grade level in New Jersey; and 3) the actual raw PARCC score average for the high school districts in Hoboken (Hoboken City District, Hoboken Charter District). Finally, a percentile score is presented which gives a sense of where the district is ranked among all the other NJ public school districts on the particular grade level PARCC assessment for 2018.


Not a single tested grade level is scoring above 33% in the Hoboken School District in Algebra I, Algebra II, or Geometry. As I explained in previous posts, Mathematics in general and Algebra in particular are a civil rights issue as explained eloquently by mathematician and civil rights leader Robert Moses.


These scores, coupled with the Grade 3-8 Mathematics scores reported earlier, indicate that there are not many students completing their studies in the traditional Hoboken public schools that would be considered "college ready" by traditional standards. It is important to realize that being admitted to college does not indicate college readiness.

It is important to realize just a few weeks ago news was released that Hoboken High School plummeted in the bi-annual NJ Monthly rankings of New Jersey High Schools and is now ranked 260th out of 305 New Jersey High Schools.
