Hyde Park Central School District

The Hyde Park Central School District in New York serves students from 6 schools, including 4 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district exhibits a mix of academic performance, with some standout schools like Haviland Middle School and Franklin D. Roosevelt Senior High School showing strong proficiency rates on state assessments and Regents exams. However, the elementary schools in the district display more varied results, with North Park Elementary and Ralph R. Smith School lagging behind in academic performance compared to their peers.

The data reveals that Haviland Middle School stands out with the highest proficiency rates on the New York State Assessments for English Language Arts and Math across grades 6-8, as well as 100% proficiency rates on the Regents Algebra I and Living Environment exams. Meanwhile, Franklin D. Roosevelt Senior High School demonstrates strong performance on Regents exams, with proficiency rates exceeding the district and state averages in subjects like Algebra II, English Language Arts, and U.S. History and Government. The high school also has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%.

Despite the strengths of these two schools, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the schools in the district and the state averages, particularly in English Language Arts and Math proficiency. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients across the schools suggest that the district may be serving a population with significant socioeconomic challenges, which could impact academic performance. The district may need to focus on addressing these performance gaps, identifying and replicating successful practices from its higher-performing schools, and considering the impact of socioeconomic factors on student outcomes.
