Hyattsville Middle

Summary:

Hyattsville Middle is a public magnet middle school in Hyattsville, Maryland, serving grades 6-8 with a diverse student population, primarily Hispanic (68.94% in 2022-2023). Despite its high per-student spending, the school consistently underperforms state and district averages in academic achievement.

Hyattsville Middle's academic performance is a concern, with only 10.1% of students proficient or better in MCAP/Mathematics and 23.6% in English Language Arts (ELA) in 2023-2024, compared to state averages of 23.3% and 48.4%, respectively. However, the school performs relatively better in Algebra I, with 42% of students proficient or better, outpacing the state average of 20%. Compared to nearby schools like Benjamin Tasker Middle and Samuel Ogle Middle, Hyattsville Middle's academic outcomes are generally lower, though it outperforms some other nearby schools in certain subject areas.

Hyattsville Middle's challenges extend beyond academics, with a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (83.12% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023) and significant performance gaps among student subgroups. The school's overall ranking of 289 out of 328 Maryland middle schools in 2023-2024 and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger reflect these issues. Addressing the needs of Hyattsville Middle's diverse student population and improving academic outcomes will be crucial for the Prince George's County Public Schools district.

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.
