The Uncomfortable Truth About the Hoboken Public Schools: State Scores and District Rankings are at Historically Low Levels

Parcc 2018 Flyer by on Scribd

These scores and rankings do not indicate that the Hoboken School District is anywhere close to being a "model of excellence" for anything- let alone for diverse communities. Such statements are a mockery and are insulting to anyone paying attention to the Hoboken Public Schools. Thankfully for people overseeing education in the Hoboken district, there is no active news coverage of the district other than the public relation releases the district sends to the local newspapers. Issues related to the new QSAC scores will be addressed in an upcoming post.


Furthermore, the 2018 New Jersey Monthly Magazine ranking of NJ school districts finds the Hoboken School District dropping 48 spots and is now ranked 260th out of 300 school districts in NJ. Only in Hoboken is dropping 48 slots on a statewide independent ranking considered "making improvement" or warrants assurances that students are "college ready" or gets a superintendent an extension on a contract.
