10 Things Worth Knowing About the Hoboken School District Fall 2022 Version

New Art in Hoboken - Michelle Hoogveld & Team

Ten Things To Know About the Hoboken School District
Fall 2022 Edition  

1) Brandt Elementary is the most segregated school in the Hoboken School District. It has the highest percentage of white students and the lowest percentage of hispanic and black students. In addition, it is also the School with the lowest percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch.


Backup: https://hobokencurriculumproject.blogspot.com/2022/10/brandt-elementary-school-most.html


2) Most recent pre-pandemic state administered test scores indicate only 4 out of 10 high school students are reading at grade level and less than 1 out of 10 high school students are doing mathematics at grade level. Moreover, 9% are doing geometry at grade level and 3% are doing Algebra at grade level. 


Backup: https://hobokencurriculumproject.blogspot.com/2022/10/latest-njdoe-data-4-out-of-10-students.html


3) The Hoboken School District received $5,806,503 in American Rescue Plan Emergency Relief Funds. Has there been a public accounting of how these funds were utilized? How these funds were used to make up for the loss of learning during the pandemic? Is there data on the success/failure of these funds? 


Backup: https://hobokencurriculumproject.blogspot.com/2022/08/hoboken-school-district-american-rescue.html


4) Based on district self reported data, in 2021-22 Hoboken High School resident enrollment was only 344 students.


Backup: https://hobokencurriculumproject.blogspot.com/2022/05/2021-22-hoboken-high-school-resident.html


5) Estimated cost per student based on 2022-23 Hoboken District Preliminary Budget: 

Charters: $14,910 

Preschool: $20,670 

K-12 Hoboken traditional Public Schools: $27,275 


Backup https://hobokencurriculumproject.blogspot.com/2022/03/per-pupil-cost-estimates-for-hoboken.html


6) Total Hoboken District enrollment between October 15, 2020 and October 15, 2021 was down 2.3% 


Backup: https://hobokencurriculumproject.blogspot.com/2022/03/skyrocketing-enrollment-in-hoboken.html


7) In 2019 the Hoboken Board of Education’s current super majority opposed Elysian’s expansion of a couple of dozen students to the NJDOE. Less than 12 months later, the same Board and Superintendent talk about “explosive enrollment gains” 


Backup: https://hobokencurriculumproject.blogspot.com/2021/12/test-elysian.html


8) In the most recent contract of the superintendent (2021) there are listed 3 “quantitative” and 2 “qualitative” areas for merit increases. Each quantitative area is worth up to 3.33% and each “qualitative” area is worth 2.5% for a total of potentially 15% of the entire salary. However, there is no articulation or details as to what these merit criteria or areas are.

9) The Hoboken Board of Education severely misprojected the 2021-22 enrollment by 1500% costing taxpayers over $3.7 million dollars as part of a 10% local tax levy hike during the heart of the recession and pandemic.

https://hobokencurriculumproject.blogspot.com/2020/05/hoboken-board-of-education-unanimously.html


10) In 2012 the Hoboken Board of Education voted to accept the offer on the NJDOE to not have a public election on the Board of Education budget if the next years budget was to be a 2% increase of less. 

The result has been the taxpayers and citizens of Hoboken have not voted on a school budget in over a decade. 

The result has been an incentive by the Hoboken Board of Education to keep the budget at a 2% increase or less resulting in over a decade of needed money for maintenance of schools resulting in appealing to the pubic for the poor state of the school buildings.

Last Pre-Pandemic Disaggregated Algebra I NJSLA Test Scores: Hoboken School District

"It is the duty of every man, as far as his ability extends, to detect and expose delusion and error." ~ Thomas Paine

The chart below is taken from New Jersey Department of Education data on the Algebra I assessment given for the last pre-pandemic school year of 2018-2019. Most important is that this data is disaggregated across a number of state mandated subgroups. One can easily match up the subgroup in Chart 1 with the Level of Performance in Chart 2 to access how that particular subgroup did in Algebra I for the last full school year before the pandemic. 

When data is not presented in such a disaggregated manner, it is easy for the performance of under-represented subgroups to be inadvertently or intentionally hidden from view of the community. This is why the NJDOE reports the data in such a manner. 

The data is clear, Chart 1 indicates that not a single subgroup research NJDOE Level 3 (Met Expectations) for Algebra I during the last full academic year before the pandemic in the Hoboken Public School District. 

650-699: Level 1 Did Not Yet Meet Expectations 

700-724: Level 2 Partially Met Expectations 

725-749: Level 3Approached Expectations 

750-785: Level 4 Met Expectations 

786-850: Level 5 Exceeded Expectations 

Robert "Bob" Moses, the late civil rights leader from the 1960's and later a 1982 MacArthur Award winner, explained in detail that Algebra obtainment was a civil rights issue as much as anything he fought for in the 1960's.
