Summary:
The city of Weehawken, New Jersey is home to 3 schools - 2 elementary schools (Daniel Webster School and Theodore Roosevelt School) and 1 high school (Weehawken High School) - all part of the Weehawken Public School District. The data reveals a mix of strengths and challenges across these schools, with some standout performers and areas needing improvement.
Among the standout schools, Theodore Roosevelt School performed relatively well on English Language Arts assessments, with 66.7% of 6th graders proficient or better. However, the school struggled with Mathematics, with only 25.7% of 5th graders proficient or better. Weehawken High School maintained a high 4-year graduation rate of 91.1%, but had a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6%.
Overall, the data suggests that the schools in Weehawken face consistent underperformance on standardized tests compared to state averages, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, the high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch across all three schools indicates socioeconomic challenges that may be impacting academic performance. The district should closely examine these factors and implement targeted strategies to improve student outcomes across all grade levels.
