About Thomas G. Connors Elementary School
Thomas G. Connors Elementary School serves 328 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Hoboken, New Jersey. It earns a composite score of 9.1 out of 10 — rated Exceptional — placing it #1 among Hoboken's seven public schools and #41 out of 2,463 public schools statewide.
That puts Connors in the top 2% of all New Jersey schools, a standing that makes it the clear benchmark for elementary education in the city. The school's most striking figure is its growth score: a perfect 10.0 out of 10. That result signals students here gain academic ground at a rate well above what comparable schools achieve.
Academic performance comes in at 7.2 out of 10 — a solid floor that the growth trajectory only reinforces over time. Class sizes stay tight. At 10.9 students per teacher, Connors runs smaller than most public elementaries, which creates structural room for individualized instruction across all six grade levels.
For parents in Hoboken weighing options, the data tells a consistent story: this is not a school with one strong year carried by favorable demographics. The combination of near-perfect growth, small classes, and a top-2% statewide rank makes Connors a strong choice for families who prioritize measurable academic momentum through the elementary years.
