Hoboken High School Ranked 334th out of 387 NJ High Schools on 2018 Composite SAT Scores

Church Square Park- Hoboken, NJ
The Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) is still considered the primary standardized test that judges a student's college qualifications and a major criteria for accessing college readieness. Patch.com put together a list of each New Jersey high school's average 2017 scores that the New Jersey Department of Education released in February of 2018*, and ranked the high schools from top to bottom. Patch compiled SAT scores in the two sections identified as "math" and "reading and writing." Below is the combined average score of each school, ranked highest to lowest. Perfect would be a combined 1600, or 800 in each section (the average scores were 552 for math and 551 for reading and writing for all New Jersey high schools). 
Hoboken High School now ranks 334th out of 387 high schools in New Jersey with a combined SAT composite score of 935.
It is important to note that the Hoboken School District is around 50% FRL-eligible ("free or reduced lunch") and the LEP eligibility (Limited English Proficiency) is only 1%.  NJ's average FRL-eligibility is around 40%.  A 50% FRL-district percentage, like the Hoboken School District has, is not that high and certainly does not adequately explain SAT performance (see chart of FRL% of Abbott Districts in NJ below). Add to the falling FRL eligibility and small LEP percentage a low student to faculty ratio and one of the highest per pupil spending allocations in the state and we are left with many more questions than answers concerning academics at Hoboken High School. 
  A previous post listed the 2018 SAT composite scores for all public high schools in Hudson County. 

 * SAT test taken in SPG 2017, not released until February 2018
