NJDOE Math Scores for 2019 and 2022 in Hoboken Middle and Hoboken High School are Abysmal

The importance of mathematics to your child's success can not be overstated. Basic math is a necessity, but even abstract math can help hone critical thinking skills — even if your child chooses not to pursue a STEM-style career. Math can help them succeed professionally, emotionally and cognitively.

Recent mathematics scores in the Hoboken Public Schools are abysmal. Only 9% of Middle and High School students were proficient in Math in 2019 (Figure 1) and 8% were proficient in the most recent Math NJDOE scores in 2022 (Figure 2). 

Has Superintendent Christine Johnson presented the community with a plan? Has the Director of Mathematics Instruction discussed remediation efforts at a Board Meeting? Is ANYONE accountable for these extremely low scores?
