Summary:
The Hackensack School District in New Jersey is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade. These schools, including Nellie K. Parker, Fairmount, Fanny Meyer Hillers, and Jackson Avenue, demonstrate a range of academic performance and serve diverse student populations.
Fanny Meyer Hillers stands out as the top-performing school, with the highest test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades, exceeding the district and state averages. This school also has the lowest student-teacher ratio, which may contribute to its strong academic results. In contrast, Jackson Avenue has the highest Mathematics proficiency rates, despite serving a higher percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
Across the district, the schools show relatively consistent performance in areas such as chronic absenteeism, spending per student, and student-teacher ratios. However, the schools still lag behind the state averages in many areas, indicating room for improvement. The data suggests that the schools are effectively supporting their more economically disadvantaged students, as the schools with higher percentages of free/reduced lunch recipients tend to have stronger academic performance compared to the district and state.
