These SAT scores in Mathematics and Reading & Writing are among the lowest scores in Hudson County and the State of New Jersey. That this year's results indicate a drop of -2.78% from last year's scores which placed the school 334th out of 387 New Jersey Public High Schools only indicates that there is no improvement and apparently no plan for improvement on college ready academic preparation of these young people.
I have said many times before that the primary past time in Hoboken concerning education seems to be posting "wonderful stories" of what is going on in the Hoboken Public Schools while no one from the Superintendent, to the Board of Education, or city politicians wish to address the quality and educational outcomes of the products of this system. These SAT scores, along with last year's SAT scores and recent PARCC results (click here for PARCC HHS), and the Stanford Efficiency Study indicates there are serious, systemic, and chronic academic issues in the Hoboken Public Schools. Its well past time for people to start paying attention. Its clear people are simply ignoring what is taking place.
