Summary:
The Weehawken Public School District consists of three schools serving grades K-12: Weehawken High School, Daniel Webster School, and Theodore Roosevelt School. The district is ranked 380 out of 609 in New Jersey and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Among the three schools, Theodore Roosevelt School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 623 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools and earning 3 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. It also outperformed the district and state averages in English Language Arts proficiency for grades 3-6. Weehawken High School also had notable achievements, maintaining a high 91.3% four-year graduation rate and low 1.0% dropout rate, while outperforming the district and state in several NJSLA and NJGPA test scores.
However, the district faces some challenges, including a consistent 14.9% chronic absenteeism rate across all three schools and varying test score performance among the elementary schools. Additionally, there is a significant discrepancy in spending per student, with Weehawken High School spending $9,025 per student compared to $5,045 per student at Theodore Roosevelt School. These findings suggest opportunities for the district to address attendance, resource allocation, and overall performance to provide a more equitable and high-quality education for all students.
