Summary:

Hampton Bays High School is a public high school serving 769 students in grades 9-12 in the Hampton Bays Union Free School District located in Hampton Bays, New York. The school has shown some strengths, particularly in the performance of Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who outrank the state average in many subject areas. However, the school also faces challenges, including fluctuating graduation and dropout rates, as well as persistently high rates of chronic absenteeism.

One of the school's key strengths is the strong performance of its Hispanic and English Language Learner students, who consistently score higher than the state average on many Regents exams. This suggests the school may have effective strategies in place to support these student populations. However, the school's overall academic performance is more mixed, with some subject areas, such as Common Core Algebra II and Living Environment, lagging behind the state average. The school's graduation and dropout rates have also shown significant fluctuations in recent years, indicating a need for more consistent and effective strategies to improve student retention and success.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Eastport-South Manor Junior Senior High School and Westhampton Beach Senior High School, Hampton Bays High School generally underperforms in academic measures and has a significantly higher percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds. Addressing the root causes of the school's chronic absenteeism and supporting its economically disadvantaged student population could be crucial steps in improving overall school performance and aligning it more closely with its higher-achieving neighbors.

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.
