Summary

Fanny Meyer Hillers is a PK–4 elementary school in Hackensack, serving 516 students. Its latest results show a sharp difference between grades: fourth graders performed above state averages in both tested subjects, while third graders fell below state averages in both. The clearest academic concern is third-grade ELA, where proficiency was 36%, 12 points below the state.

Compared with nearby schools, Fanny’s two-grade average was stronger in math than ELA: math was 6 points above the nearby average, while ELA was 1 point above it. Relative to the Hackensack School District, its averages were 8 points higher in math and 5 points higher in ELA; compared with the state, math was 1 point lower and ELA 4 points lower. Fourth-grade results were a particular strength: math proficiency was 58%, 11 points above the state, and ELA was 51%, 5 points above. Attendance is also a concern: chronic absenteeism was 21% in 2024–2025, compared with 16% in the district and 14% statewide.

Results have improved overall in math but slipped in ELA. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, the two-grade math average rose 8 points, while the ELA average fell 4 points. SchoolDigger placed Fanny at the 48th percentile statewide with 2 stars in 2025–2026, up from the 36th percentile in 2023–2024; nearby Lincoln Elementary School and Wilson School ranked at the 62nd percentile. Its student–teacher ratio was 11.8:1 in 2024–2025, and 66% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. SchoolDigger’s relative-effectiveness ranking for African American students was notably high at the 98th percentile, up from 54 the prior year, while its ranking for special education students was 22nd percentile, remaining low across the three years reported.
