Hoboken Public Schools is a comprehensive community public school district located in Hoboken, New Jersey, United States, that serves children in kindergarten through twelfth grade. Hoboken Public Schools serves the city of Hoboken. The district is one of 31 Abbott Districts statewide.[2]
As of the 2005-06 school year, the district's six schools had an enrollment of 1,900 students and 201.2 classroom teachers (on a FTE basis, for a student-teacher ratio of 9.4.[1]
The district participates in the Interdistrict Public School Choice Program, having been approved on November 2, 1999, as one of the first ten districts statewide to participate in the program.[3] Seats in the program for non-resident students are specified by the district and are allocated by lottery, with tuition paid for participating students by the New Jersey Department of Education.[4]
Hoboken's continuing position as an Abbott district is extremely tenuous. By the 2010 census Hoboken is likely to be identified as one of the wealthiest single square miles in the North Eastern United States; yet the pockets of poverty which persist continue to make up a large percentage of the public-school bound population. However it may be increasingly difficult to argue for public school funding into Hoboken from other parts of the state while Hoboken's per capita income begins to rival that of areas such as Park Slope, New York, Cambridge Mass. or the Rittenhouse Square district of Philadelphia.
