Spring 2016 PARCC Results: HHS ranked 285 out of 388 NJ High Schools in Mathematics and 332 out of 371 NJ High Schools in English/Language Arts for Students "not meeting expectations"

Columbus Park- Hoboken NJ

Results of the Spring 2016 PARCC New Jersey State Testing in English/Language Arts and Mathematics were released and reported a few months ago on Patch.com. Data was complied from the New Jersey Department of Education database. The NJ PARCC is graded on a scale of 1-5, students who score a 4 or 5 are considered to be meeting or exceeding grade level expectations. Students who score a 3 are approaching those expectations and those with a 2 or lower are not meeting expectations. 

According to Patch “We have the list of high schools, from best to worst, based on the percentage of students whose spring 2016 test performances showed they are "not yet meeting expectations" in the Algebra I, Geometry and Algebra II sections or in Language Arts.” Not all of the state's high schools are listed, largely because some schools didn't provide sufficient data for those high school-level subjects.

Using the objective, third party analysis by Patch.com based on New Jersey Department of Education data, Hoboken High School is ranked 285 out of 388 NJ high schools in students not yet meeting expectations in Mathematics and 332 out of  371 NJ high schools in students not meeting expectations in English/Language Arts based on the Spring 2016 PARCC assessments. Again, the designation of "not meeting expectations" means a score of 2 or lower on the NJ PARCC scale.
