Hasbrouck Heights School District, NJ

Original Research by School Decision on Hasbrouck Heights School District

The Hasbrouck Heights School District serves a single borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, a densely settled suburban community with a housing market that reflects the broader region's high demand. Home values in the district are well above national medians, and the local market shows a low supply of available homes relative to demand, a pattern common across much of Bergen County. Rents are also high, and the estimated share of income needed for rent is substantial. For a family considering a move here, the housing picture is one of a competitive, expensive market where affordability is a real consideration.

The district itself is a mid-sized system serving students from preschool through twelfth grade. Its enrollment is spread fairly evenly across the grades, with a modest bulge in the upper elementary years. Racially and ethnically, the student body is predominantly white, with a substantial Hispanic population and a smaller but notable Asian cohort. Black students and students of two or more races each make up a small share of the enrollment. Data on the share of students who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, receive special education services, or are classified as English learners was not available in the source data, so a parent may want to ask the district directly about these support populations.

On state assessments, the district's results show a clear pattern. In English language arts, proficiency rates are strong across the elementary and middle grades, with the highest marks in fifth and sixth grades. The eighth-grade ELA result is notably lower, a drop that a parent may want to discuss with the school to understand what supports are in place for that transition year. In math, the picture is more mixed. Proficiency rates in the early elementary grades are solid, but they decline steadily through the middle grades, with the eighth-grade math result falling well below the earlier grades. Science results, tested in fifth and eighth grades, are lower still, with the eighth-grade science proficiency rate particularly soft. The district's overall proficiency index, which averages results across all tested subjects and grades, sits just below the midpoint when compared with other districts in Bergen County. This is a district where elementary literacy is a clear strength, but math and science performance in the middle grades is an area a parent may want to explore further.

The district's chronic absenteeism rate is low, landing in a favorable position relative to other Bergen County districts. Per-pupil spending is in the middle range, on the lower side of that middle, which is consistent with a district that is not among the highest spenders in a county known for wide variation in school funding.

The district operates four schools: two elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school. Publicly reported district goals for the current school year point to several instructional shifts that families will encounter. The district is in the second year of implementing a new K-8 mathematics curriculum, the SAVVAS enVision program, which also extends into Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II. In English language arts, the district has adopted a Science of Reading approach, with specific phonics and phonological awareness programs now in use across the elementary grades. The district also states a goal of embedding instructional technology and AI tools into daily classroom instruction. These are active, district-wide changes that will shape the classroom experience for students at all levels.

The district's four schools include two elementary schools, a middle school, and a high school. The high school graduation rate was not available in the source data, so a parent should confirm this metric directly with the district.
