East Hampton Middle School

Summary:

East Hampton Middle School is a public middle school serving 433 students in grades 6-8 in the town of East Hampton, Connecticut, which is part of the Regional School District 13.

East Hampton Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in academic assessments, with 68.5% of 8th-grade students proficient or better in SBAC/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.1%. The school also performs well in SBAC/Mathematics and NGSS/Science assessments, with proficiency rates ranging from 42% to 49.6% across grade levels, exceeding the state averages. However, the school has a predominantly white student population, with only 13.63% of students identifying as racial minorities, which is notably less diverse than some nearby schools like Beman Middle School in Middletown. Additionally, East Hampton Middle School serves a relatively higher-income student population, with only 19.86% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, compared to the 48.76% rate at Beman Middle School.

While East Hampton Middle School's consistent academic performance places it above the state average, the school's lack of racial diversity and socioeconomic differences compared to nearby schools may present both challenges and opportunities in terms of fostering an inclusive learning environment and addressing potential disparities in educational experiences. The school's 3-star rating from SchoolDigger suggests that it is performing well, but there may be room for improvement to reach the top-performing schools in Connecticut.

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.

Moved here so my kids can have "better schools." Not impressed. I feel like all the schools here are constantly asking for money and the staff talks to me like I'm a child. Can't wait to sell our house and run from this town. Close Quote

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.
