North Haven Middle School

Summary:

North Haven Middle School is a public middle school serving 724 students in grades 6-8 in North Haven, Connecticut, which is part of the Hamden School District. This high-performing school consistently ranks in the top quarter of Connecticut middle schools and has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

North Haven Middle School stands out for its strong academic performance, with proficiency rates that exceed the state average in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school is particularly effective in supporting the academic growth of traditionally underperforming student subgroups, ranking 8th out of 104 Connecticut middle schools for Hispanic students in ELA and 15th out of 109 schools for students of low socioeconomic status in the same subject. When compared to nearby schools like James H. Moran Middle School and Joseph Melillo Middle School, North Haven Middle School's ELA and Mathematics proficiency rates are significantly higher.

North Haven Middle School's success can be attributed to a variety of factors, including its relatively low student-teacher ratio, which allows for more individualized attention and support. The school also serves a student population that is less economically disadvantaged than many of its peers, with only 21.82% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. As the school's demographics continue to evolve, with a gradual increase in Hispanic and Asian students, the district will need to ensure that its curriculum and support services remain responsive to the changing needs of the community.

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.
