In the State of New Jersey Assessment Proficiency Rank, Hoboken High School is ranked 321 out of 399 ranked NJ high schools placing the school in the bottom fifth of all NJ high schools (see Figure 2). 

Are there positive aspects in this year's rankings--- yes, there are some promising areas. But, what remains are inexplicable and extremely low state assessments in science, mathematics, and reading-- the core components of a 21st center education.
