Summary

Joseph F Brandt Elementary School serves prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 632 students in Hoboken, where families can also compare several nearby public and charter schools. Its 2025–26 test results were well above averages for both the state and Hoboken Public School District. Brandt is a strong local option academically, although the two nearby charter schools generally score higher.

Brandt’s strongest comparative result is ELA: its grades 3–5 average was 78%, versus 72% for the district and 49% for New Jersey, and 55% across the nine nearby schools. Math averaged 73%, compared with 69% districtwide, 47% statewide, and 57% at nearby schools; this is Brandt’s smallest advantage over its district. Fifth-grade science was 52%, versus 42% for the district, 27% for the state, and 34% at nearby schools. The two local charters, Hoboken Dual Language Charter School and Elysian Charter School of Hoboken, were the only nearby schools generally ahead of Brandt. Grade 4 was a relative soft spot, especially in math, but Brandt still ranked third among nearby schools with grade 4 math results.

Results over time are mixed: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, ELA fell from 81% to 78%, math rose from 72% to 73%, and science edged up from 51% to 52%. SchoolDigger gave Brandt 92nd percentile and five stars in 2025–26, matching its percentile in each of the previous four years; the two nearby charters scored at the 100th and 97th percentiles. In 2024–25, 21% of Brandt students were free/reduced lunch eligible, compared with 29% at Wallace Elementary School and 32% at Thomas G. Connors Elementary School. Brandt’s student-teacher ratio was 10.6 that year, similar to several nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism also improved, dropping from 12% in 2022–23 to 7% in 2024–25, below the district’s 8% and state’s 14%.
