Barnstable Intermediate School

Summary:

Barnstable Intermediate School is a public middle school located in Hyannis, Massachusetts, serving 651 students in grades 6-7. Over the past few years, the school's racial makeup has become more diverse, with a decrease in the percentage of white students and an increase in the percentage of Hispanic students.

Academically, Barnstable Intermediate School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Massachusetts middle schools, with only 21.54% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 25.72% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 39.17% and 40.91%, respectively. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Barnstable's African American, Hispanic, White, and Special Education students all performing in the bottom third of middle schools in the state. Despite a relatively high per-student spending of $18,730, the school's academic outcomes have been declining over the past several years.

When compared to nearby middle schools, such as Nauset Regional Middle, Monomoy Regional Middle School, and Lawrence, Barnstable Intermediate School performs significantly worse on MCAS assessments, with lower proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics. This suggests that the school may have room for improvement in terms of aligning its curriculum and instructional practices with those of higher-performing schools in the region.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
