Summary:
The Hyde Park Central School District has only one middle school, Haviland Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a high student-teacher ratio and strong performance on certain Regents exams, its overall academic performance appears to be below the district and state averages on standardized test scores.
Haviland Middle School's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 825 out of 1,479 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,031 out of 1,500 in 2022-2023. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math are generally below the district and state averages, but it performs well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I. The school has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (59.16% in 2022-2023), indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students.
The district may need to closely examine Haviland Middle School's instructional practices, resource allocation, and targeted support programs to address the inconsistencies in student achievement and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed. While the school has some positive attributes, the overall academic performance suggests the need for a more comprehensive approach to improving outcomes across all grade levels and subject areas.
