The Hasbrouck Heights School District is a comprehensive community public school district that serves students in pre-kindergarten through twelfth grade from Hasbrouck Heights and Teterboro, in Bergen County, in the U.S. state of New Jersey.[3] The district serves students from Teterboro,[4] a non-operating district that was merged into the Hasbrouck Heights School District following its dissolution on July 1, 2010.[5]

As of the 2020–21 school year, the district, comprised of four schools, had an enrollment of 1,745 students and 145.0 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 12.0:1.[1]

The district is classified by the New Jersey Department of Education as being in District Factor Group "FG", the fourth-highest of eight groupings.

From lowest socioeconomic status to highest, the categories are A, B, CD, DE, FG, GH, I and J.[6]

The board appoints a superintendent to oversee the district's day-to-day operations and a business administrator to supervise the business functions of the district.[23][24][25][26]
