Elementary Schools in Weehawken Public School District

The Weehawken Public School District in New Jersey is home to two elementary schools: Daniel Webster School and Theodore Roosevelt School. While the district as a whole is ranked 380th out of 609 districts in New Jersey and rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, Theodore Roosevelt School has shown consistent improvement and outperformed the district and state averages in several key academic metrics.

Theodore Roosevelt School has moved up in the statewide ranking, from 795th out of 1,342 New Jersey elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 623rd out of 1,347 in 2024-2025, with its SchoolDigger rating improving from 2 stars to 3 stars over that time. The school has outperformed the district and state in English Language Arts proficiency rates, which are significantly higher than the averages across all grade levels. In mathematics, while still below the state average, Theodore Roosevelt School's proficiency rates are higher than the district average in most grade levels.

In contrast, Daniel Webster School has 391 students, while Theodore Roosevelt School has 328 students. Both schools have the same chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year. However, the per-student spending at Daniel Webster School is significantly higher, at $8,809 per student, compared to $5,045 per student at Theodore Roosevelt School. This disparity in funding may be an area for further investigation to understand its potential impact on the educational experience and outcomes at each school.
