NJDOE Hoboken High School Performance Report 2016-17 (Released January 2018)

Hoboken High School, Hoboken, NJ 
In January of 2018, the state Department of Education released its annual School Performance Reports for 2016-17. The reports, which are required by the federal government, were released in January and are intended to provide a comprehensive overview of data for public schools locally and statewide. 
Attached below is the most recent report for Hoboken High School in Hoboken, NJ a school where I taught when I was a teacher. 
Federal law requires the state to assign each school a rating based on a few key measures such as proficiency ratings on standardized tests, student growth, and graduation and absenteeism rates. The rating formula, while just one part of each school's overall performance, is intended to determine which schools are most in need of improvement.
New this year are one-page Summary Reports providing easy-to-read highlights of each school based on data for the most recently completed school year. The Summary Reports, according to the state, are a dashboard of key indicators such as student progress, graduation rates, and the number of students going on to two-year and four-year colleges.
