HoLa Dual Language School Classroom The following is the official press release of the 2018 HoLa Dual Language Lottery. Of special note is the fact that HoLa continues to be a leader in both the City of Hoboken as well as across the State of New Jersey in terms of incorporating approved preferences for both ELL students (English Language Learners) as well as low-income students. This year the preference has been increased from 2 to 1 to 3 to 1. While these preferences do not assure enrollment, they increase the probabilities of being selected in the lottery substantially for ELL and low-income students. HoLa is the first pubic charter school in NJ to offer ELL and low-income preference in its lottery.     HoLa Lottery 2018 Press Release FINAL by Anthony Petrosino on Scribd

Sometimes there is a need for objective, third party evaluation of a particular situation. This is especially true of schools and school systems. Administrators often paint glowing and overly positive portraits of the work they are conducting while pundits sometimes are criticized for being over zealous in their criticism. The public school district in Hoboken, NJ is one such example that we will look at today. Administrators claim progress while pundits claim systemic and chronic problems on many different levels including academics and equity.  Great Schools is an independent organization and rates schools all over the country on a number of different areas that are important in terms of offering a quality educational experience for students and families. Great Schools ranks schools in 3 main areas: ACADEMICS, EQUITY, and ENVIRONMENT. Each of these areas have a number of subcategories. Specifically, ACADEMICS: test scores, college readiness, and student progress; EQUITY: equity over

Cal's Hot Dogs at the corner of Newark and Harrison Circa 1953 In September of 2017 the New Jersey Department of Education released the results of the 2017 PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College Careers) scores for all New Jersey schools and school districts.  The test is given each spring to students in grades 3 through 11. Students receive scores ranging from 1 to 5 on the computerized tests. Those who score a 4 or a 5 are considered to be meeting the expectations of their grade level. Those scoring a 3 are "approaching" their grade level, while students earning a 1 or a 2 need significant improvement.  Previously, 2017 PARCC data was presented by Grade and by School. The New Jersey Department of Education also presented District wide data which combines data from all schools by GRADE level. Presented here therefore is the 2017 Hoboken School District PARCC results for Grade 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11. So slight note is high school math is cate

Hudson River- Hoboken January, 2018  In September of 2017 the New Jersey Department of Education released the results of the 2017 PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College Careers) scores for all New Jersey schools and school districts. The test is given each spring to students in grades 3 through 11. Students receive scores ranging from 1 to 5 on the computerized tests. Those who score a 4 or a 5 are considered to be meeting the expectations of their grade level. Those scoring a 3 are "approaching" their grade level, while students earning a 1 or a 2 need significant improvement. Data for the Hoboken School District will be presented in two different ways. First, by some quick to read charts (see Charts 1, 2, and 3 below) and second by a more detailed handout that can be viewed online or printed out for closer examination. There is more information in the handout than in the chart. For instance, in Charts 1, 2, and 3 only "passing" scores of 4 or

Brandt School - Hoboken, NJ Summary: It has been approximately 7 months since the Hoboken School District received their latest QSAC placements and results still have not been widely reported to the public. The district failed the QSAC DPR in Instruction and Program for the 7th straight year. Background: New Jersey districts must all undergo the Quality Single Accountability Continuum (QSAC). NJDOE staff review documents and analyze district performance against critical indicators in 5 QSAC areas. One of those areas, and I argue the most important, is INSTRUCTION AND PROGRAM. A score of 80% is seen as satisfying weighted indicators. While I was Assistant Superintendent, we were able to raise the QSAC score in INSTRUCTION AND PROGRAM from an initial score of 34% (a few months after we took over) to a high of 87% * in 2010 (after the HBOE approved the revised curriculum and the results of the 2009 state test scores were analyzed).   * 2010 QSA C scores were based largely on academic
