Northampton Middle has a diverse student population, with 43.2% African American, 21.84% Hispanic, and 30.1% White students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by SOL (Standards of Learning) test scores, is generally below the state averages across various subjects and grade levels. In 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 16.67% in 8th-grade Mathematics to 100% in 8th-grade Algebra I, compared to the state averages of 50.1% and 92.08%, respectively. The school's performance on English Reading and Civics and Economics assessments is closer to the state averages, but still below.

Northampton Middle's performance varies significantly among different student subgroups. The school ranks relatively high (top 12 in the state) for English Language Learner students and Homeless students, indicating strong support and outcomes for these populations. However, the school ranks much lower for African American, Hispanic, and Low Socioeconomic Status students, suggesting achievement gaps that need to be addressed. Despite these challenges, the school's exceptional performance for specific student subgroups suggests it has the potential to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve overall 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.
