Summary:
The Hampton Bays Union Free School District in New York contains a single middle school, Hampton Bays Middle School, which serves grades 6-8. The school's performance has been declining in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 1,174 out of 1,479 schools in 2021-2022 to 938 out of 1,504 schools in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school is rated only 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other middle schools in the state.
Academically, Hampton Bays Middle School has mixed results. While its proficiency rates in Regents exams like Living Environment and Algebra I are higher than the state averages, its performance on the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts and Math is generally lower than the state averages. This suggests the school may be struggling to meet the academic needs of its students, particularly in core subject areas.
The school serves a relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 64.32% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, as students from low-income families often face additional barriers to educational success. Despite the higher per-student spending of $20,067, which is above the state average, the school's performance has not significantly improved, indicating that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the school's issues.
