It is helpful to look at independent, third party evaluation of the Hoboken Public Schools rather than public relations materials released by the district's PR efforts. For instance, latest test score data from the **2022** US News and World Report finds that over half the 6th to 12th graders in the Hoboken public schools are reading BELOW grade level, over 90% are BELOW grade level in mathematics, and 99% are BELOW grade level in Science.
Moreover, on a score from 1-100, the school scores a 17 on college readiness (set of skills, behaviors, and knowledge a high school student should have before enrollment in their first year of college).
These results are from a district that is only 20% free or reduced lunch. A community that allocates the district leadership over $27,000 per student. A district with a very low student to teacher ratio (well under 15 students to 1 teacher).
The kids in this district are victims of poor pedagogy, incompetent leadership that appears to not have a clue as to what to do to raise achievement levels of students, and excuse makers unable to effectively educate students.
Results from 2021....no improvement at all
