2021-22 Hoboken High School Resident Enrollment: 344 Students

How many students are enrolled in Hoboken High School? A relatively simple question that is often challenging to find a clear answer. 

Using the 2022-23 ASSA Hoboken Enrollment Report as well as the disaggregated count of "choice" enrollment in the the district supplied by the New Jersey Department of Education, we find that there are 344 Hoboken resident students in Hoboken High School. When one also adds in the number of students attending Hoboken High School based on the NJDOE choice program, the enrollment reaches 467 students. This is a school that was built to house 1500 students in the early 1960's. This in a district that claims "skyrocketing" enrollment yet continues to accept students from out of town. 

The district should honor the commitment it has made to all students who have been accepted into the choice program until graduation. But it is contradictory for the district to claim enrollment is skyrocketing while at the same time the district is actively recruiting and taking the maximum number of out of town students into the district (163 students). The choice program should either be terminated or the district leadership and administration should significantly curb discussion and claims around enrollment increases outside of normal year to year variation.
