Summary:

Hoosick Falls Middle School is a public middle school serving 325 students in grades 5-8 in the Hoosick Falls Central School District located in Hoosick Falls, NY. The school's academic performance is mixed, with proficiency rates in ELA and math generally below state averages, but exceptional performance on Regents exams.

Compared to nearby middle schools, Schuylerville Middle School and Algonquin Middle School outperform Hoosick Falls Middle School in both ELA and math proficiency. However, Hoosick Falls Middle School stands out for its 100% proficiency rates on the Living Environment and Algebra I Regents exams, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. The school's relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (54.46%) may be a contributing factor to its academic struggles, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support.

Overall, Hoosick Falls Middle School faces academic challenges, particularly in math and for its White student population, compared to both state averages and nearby middle schools. The school's strong Regents exam performance suggests it may be effectively preparing a subset of its students for advanced coursework and college-level assessments. By examining the practices and strategies of higher-performing schools in the region, Hoosick Falls Middle School could identify opportunities for improvement to better serve all of its students.

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.
