HUNDREDS OF OUTSIDER STUDENTS AT HHS. My step-daughter is a senior at Hackensack High School. She says there are "hundreds" of students who live in other cities that either drive or take a bus to attend Hackensack High School. "There five from Garfield, that I know of". She says there's dozens each from Paterson and Passaic, and a few from Englewood and Bogota. Even 2 or 3 from Teaneck. She says just a few of them are athletes that were given permission or their coach pulled some strings to get them in, and the vast majority are just here illegally.
Most either use relatives addresses for the registration, or they used to live in Hackensack and moved, but continue to use their old address.
I guess the word is out that Hackensack is really lax on this front, and you can get away with it. Just like some people want America to have "open borders", perhaps some administrators in the high school want an open border concept for students from other places to attend HHS.
This is important because Hackensack is spending money to build another school. And if there are really that many extra kids in Hackensack High School, that's a taxpayer issue in its own right.

been going on for a long time and its an open secret. Clearly nobody in the B of E gives a crap. Wonder why the school budget is over 100 million dollars? if they would do strict residency they wouldnt need to build a new school. Bergenfield did just that a few years ago. got rid of hundreds of students. But nobody wants to do anything about it, so the cars with out of state plates line up every day around the schools in Hackensack. Driving up the taxes of the people who live there.
