Hoboken High School Students Need More Than Encouraging Social Media Posts

Advanced Placement (AP) Exams begin this week (week of May 17, 2021) at Hoboken High School with AP US History tomorrow and AP Psychology and AP US GOVT on Wednesday and AP Spanish Language on Friday. There are a number of posts from Board members and district officials wishing the students the best of luck. Such enthusiasm and support is certainly welcomed. But perhaps it may also prove fruitful to actually teach these students in an effective and impactful manner. Recent data from the 2021 US NEWS AND WORLD REPORT indicate only 19% of students pass AP exams and the high school has an abysmal 8% proficiency score in mathematics...a STEM discipline critical for success.
