Hoboken High School Ranked 265th of New Jersey High Schools by US News and World Report for 2019

Hoboken High Schoo, Hoboken NJ
265th of 350 High Schools- US News and World Report
US News and World Report just released their rankings of New Jersey public high schools -- traditional and charter. Hoboken High School is ranked 265th out of New Jersey public high schools placing it in the bottom quartile of all New Jersey Public High Schools. 
Some findings to keep in mind concerning the latest US News and World Report analysis: 

1) While 38% of students took at least one AP exam, only 5% of students passed at least one AP exam. 

2) Proficiency in Mathematics is now at 5%. That means 95% of students test in Mathematics at Hoboken High School are not proficient in Mathematics. 

3) Proficiency in Reading is at 37%. Meaning that 63% of students at Hoboken High School are not proficient in Reading. 

These results should not be confused with recent SAT data that was released by the NJDOE which indicated Hoboken High School to have abysmal SAT scores in Mathematics and Reading. 

Hoboken High School has 46 full time teachers and only 416 students, indicating a very low teacher to student ratio of 9:1. Hoboken High School also has one of the highest per pupil spending ratio's in the state of New Jersey. Perhaps more teaching and administrating and less posting on social media about "how great things are" at Hoboken High School may be a step in the right direction?
