Westhampton Middle School

Summary:

Westhampton Middle School is a public middle school serving 434 students in grades 6-8 in the Southampton Union Free School District in Westhampton Beach, NY. The school has consistently been ranked in the top 25% of New York middle schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 330 out of 1500 schools and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Westhampton Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, with students consistently outperforming state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math assessments. In 2022-2023, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates than the state in these subjects, with 71.43% of 8th graders proficient or better in ELA compared to the state average of 55.2%, and 96.79% of Algebra I students proficient or better compared to the state average of 64.62%. The school also has a more diverse student population compared to many nearby schools, with 33.64% Hispanic and 2.07% Asian students, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 8.5 students per teacher.

While Westhampton Middle School's performance is impressive, the school should continue to monitor and address any achievement gaps, as the performance of its Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) students lags behind that of its White and overall student population. Additionally, exploring the practices of nearby higher-performing schools, such as Albert G Prodell Middle School and East Moriches School, could provide valuable insights to help Westhampton Middle School further improve its own performance and ensure equitable outcomes for all 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.
