Summary

Fanny Meyer Hillers is an elementary school in Hackensack School District, serving grades PK-4 with a total enrollment of 490 students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of New Jersey elementary schools, maintaining a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most years, with a 1-star rating in the 2020-2021 school year. This underperformance is also seen in the school's proficiency rates on standardized tests, which are generally below the district and state averages.

Fanny Meyer Hillers has a diverse student population, with notable percentages of Asian, African American, and Hispanic students. While the school's performance on subgroup rankings is mixed, with stronger results for African American and Hispanic students, it struggles with lower rankings for English Language Learners and Special Education students. Additionally, the school faces high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 14.9% to 19.0% over the past few years, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, some nearby schools in other districts, such as Hilltop School and Lincoln Elementary School, have higher rankings and test scores, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Fanny Meyer Hillers and the Hackensack School District to learn from and implement successful strategies used by these higher-performing schools.
