Hamlin Middle School

Summary:

Hamlin Middle School is a public middle school located in Springfield, Oregon, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 571 students. The school is part of the Springfield School District 19, which is ranked 93 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hamlin Middle School has consistently been ranked in the bottom half of Oregon middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Hamlin Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the state and district averages in standardized test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics significantly lower than the state and district averages across all grade levels. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, ranking particularly low for Hispanic students but relatively stronger for African American students. Hamlin Middle School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 63.92% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges. Despite spending $22,987 per student, which is higher than the state average, the increased spending does not seem to translate into improved academic outcomes for the school.

When comparing Hamlin Middle School to other nearby schools in the Springfield School District and the Eugene School District, it becomes clear that Hamlin is an outlier in terms of academic performance. Schools like Thurston Middle School and Roosevelt Middle School consistently outperform Hamlin across all grade levels and subject areas. Hamlin Middle School's ranking and performance have remained consistently low over the past several years, with little to no improvement, suggesting that the school may be facing systemic challenges that require a comprehensive, long-term approach to address.

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.
