Hayward Middle School

Summary:

Hayward Middle School is a public middle school in Springfield, Ohio, serving 339 students in grades 7-8. The school is part of the Springfield City School District, which has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hayward Middle School faces significant academic challenges, consistently performing below state and district averages on Ohio State Tests across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates were 18.5% in 8th grade Science, 10.7% in 7th grade Math, and 12.4% in 8th grade English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 62.1%, 49%, and 49.4%, respectively.

While the nearby Roosevelt Middle School and Schaefer Middle School, which are also part of the Springfield City School District, perform better academically than Hayward Middle School, they still lag behind the state averages. The school's declining statewide ranking, from 793 out of 1,008 Ohio middle schools in 2013-2014 to 948 out of 1,046 in 2023-2024, and its consistent 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicate the need for significant improvements to support the diverse student population and address the school's challenges.

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.
