Better than 49% of New Jersey high schools
Summary

Weehawken High School in Weehawken, NJ, serves 604 students in grades 7–12 in a Hudson County community. SchoolDigger ranks it 221st of 434 New Jersey schools, at the 49th percentile with 2 stars. Its results vary considerably by grade and subject, but the clearest concern is mathematics: ninth-grade Algebra I proficiency was 10%, compared with 22% statewide, and Geometry was 29%, compared with 50% statewide.

The school has some notable strengths alongside those math results. Grade 11 NJGPA English Language Arts was 78%, 2 points above the state and second among seven nearby schools with results; grade 8 Geometry was 100%, 14 points above the state. By contrast, ninth-grade Geometry was the lowest result among the eight nearby schools reporting scores, whose average was 70%. Ninth-grade ELA was closer to nearby results: 58.3% at Weehawken versus 57.8% on average. The supplied test results for the school and the Weehawken Public School District matched in every listed comparison, so they do not show a separate district result.

SchoolDigger’s overall percentile has improved, rising 14 points from 35 in 2022–2023 to 49 in 2025–2026; the school ranks seventh among itself and 10 nearby schools. Its student-teacher ratio was 12 in 2024–2025, and 53% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year, compared with a 58% average for nearby schools. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings also point to stronger recent results for some groups: it places the school’s effectiveness for English Language Learner Students at the 85th percentile and for Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 76th percentile, compared with the schoolwide 49th percentile.
