Hampton Bays Middle School

Summary:

Hampton Bays Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Hampton Bays Union Free School District, with a student population of 597 that is predominantly Hispanic (61.81%) and White (35.85%).

While the school has a relatively high per-student spending of $20,067, its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on New York State Assessments, is generally below the state and district averages. For example, in 2022-2023, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math were lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.32% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests that the school may be struggling to meet the needs of its diverse student population.

Compared to nearby schools like East Moriches School and Westhampton Middle School, Hampton Bays Middle School consistently underperforms on state assessments and has a lower overall ranking. This indicates that there may be opportunities for the school to learn from the practices and strategies of these higher-performing institutions. Despite the school's high spending, its academic outcomes remain below average, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student achievement.

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.
