Well make that ALL Hoboken schools. Here's the crux of the matter--In nine out of 14 exams, passing rates in the district were at least 15 points lower than the state average.
Quoting liberally from the Jersey Journal article on these shocking numbers:
*At Hoboken High School, passing rates in language arts fell from 81.8 percent in 2008 to 70.1 percent in 2009 and in math from 66.2 percent to 53.2 percent.
*The biggest drop in passing rates was at Connors in third-grade language arts, where rates went from 95.5 percent passing in 2008 to 31.9 percent in 2009.
On a happier note, many parents were thrilled, that the scores were being shared with them at all. Maybe an underlying reason these Hoboken kids are so far off track, a lack of communication with the school district and the mommies and daddies who live in Hoboken because it's "Better there than surrounding areas".
Uh huh
