H. G. Hill Middle

Summary:

H. G. Hill Middle is a public middle school located in Nashville, Tennessee, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 429. The school is part of the Davidson County school district, which is ranked 122 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

H. G. Hill Middle consistently ranks in the bottom half of Tennessee middle schools, with proficiency rates on state assessments significantly below the state and district averages across all subjects and grade levels. The school's performance is particularly low for Hispanic and English Language Learner (ELL) student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Tennessee middle schools for these subgroups. When compared to nearby middle schools in the Davidson County district, such as Head Middle, Rose Park Middle, and John Trotwood Moore Middle, H. G. Hill Middle's academic performance is significantly lower.

While H. G. Hill Middle has seen a steady increase in per-student spending and student-teacher ratio, the continued low academic performance across multiple years indicates that these investments may not be effectively translating into improved student outcomes. The significant performance gaps between different student subgroups at the school, particularly for Hispanic, ELL, Special Education, and Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) students, suggest potential equity issues that need to be addressed to ensure equitable educational opportunities 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.
