Summary:

Henry L Stimson Middle School is a public middle school located in Huntington Station, New York, serving grades 7-8 with a total enrollment of 870 students.

Despite a diverse student population, with 50.92% Hispanic, 31.15% White, 7.7% African American, and 5.86% Asian students, Henry L Stimson Middle School has struggled academically in recent years. The school's statewide ranking has declined from 353 out of 1373 in 2012-2013 to 1161 out of 1500 in 2022-2023, and its proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in math, where only 17.27% of 8th graders were proficient in 2022-2023 compared to 40.74% statewide. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and White students generally outperforming their African American and Hispanic peers.

When compared to other middle schools in the surrounding area, such as Oldfield Middle School (Harborfields Central School District) and H B Thompson Middle School (Syosset Central School District), Henry L Stimson Middle School generally underperforms. Despite the school's academic challenges, it has a relatively high per-student spending of $21,503 in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state average, raising questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the need to ensure that funding is effectively targeted to improve student outcomes.

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.
