Summary:
ZIP code 07030 has one middle school, Hoboken Middle School, serving grades 6–8 with 438 students in the Hoboken Public School District; because it is the only school listed, there is no peer-school comparison. The key takeaway is that results are generally above New Jersey’s, but grade 8 math is a marked exception.
Hoboken Middle School stands out in 2025–2026 ELA, scoring above the state in all three grades: 59% in grade 6, 68% in grade 7 and 60% in grade 8, compared with state results of 51%, 56% and 53%. Grades 6 and 7 math are also strong: the school was 18 points above the state in grade 6 (58% versus 40%) and 24 points above in grade 7 (63% versus 38%). Grade 8 math is the clearest weakness and the only current grade-level ELA or math result below the state: 16% versus 23%, or 7 points lower. Algebra I is another strength: its end-of-course result was 84%, compared with 40% statewide, and grade 8 Algebra I was 84% versus 75%. Grade 8 science was 24%, 5 points above the state.
Results have shifted unevenly over time: ELA fell most in grade 6, dropping 18 points from 77% in 2024–2025 to 59% in 2025–2026, while grades 7 and 8 rose 3 and 2 points. The three-grade ELA average fell 5 points, but remained 9 points above the state average. Algebra I end-of-course results also declined 10 points, from 95% to 84%, though still well above the state. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking improved from the 68th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 75th percentile in 2025–2026, after reaching the 76th percentile the year before. For context, the school’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 10.2, and 43% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that school year; these figures describe the school but do not explain its results.
