Hoboken School District Spending Nearly $30,000 per Student Increases Budget by 9.95% - Students in Grades 3 to 8 are 1.27 Years Behind Socioeconomic Peers

Niche.com reports the per pupil cost in the Hoboken School District to be nearly $30,000 per student ($29,672). Evidently, this is not enough money per student as the Hoboken Board of Education recently increased their budget for 2020-21 by 9.95% in the middle of a nationwide pandemic.

Hopefully, this tax hike will be well spend as the Hoboken School District attempts to dig itself out from being among the lowest performing districts in the country.
