Summary:

The 07601 zip code area of Hackensack, New Jersey is home to 4 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade: Nellie K. Parker, Fairmount, Fanny Meyer Hillers, and Jackson Avenue. These schools serve a diverse student population within the Hackensack School District.

Among the 4 schools, Fanny Meyer Hillers stands out with the highest test scores in both English Language Arts and Mathematics for 3rd and 4th grades, exceeding the district and state averages. For example, in 2024-2025, 57% of 4th graders at Fanny Meyer Hillers were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 46.9% for the Hackensack district and 53.6% for the state. Additionally, the school has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 11:1, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance. Jackson Avenue also stands out, with the highest mathematics proficiency rates among the 4 schools.

However, the data also reveals some common challenges across the schools. All 4 schools have a chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% for the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the state's target of 10%. Additionally, the schools serve economically disadvantaged communities, with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 47.46% at Nellie K. Parker to 60.91% at Jackson Avenue. Addressing these issues, along with the performance gaps between the higher-performing and lower-performing schools, will be crucial in improving educational outcomes for all students in the Hackensack School District.
