Hazelwood Middle School

Summary:

Hazelwood Middle School is a public middle school in New Albany, Indiana, serving 857 students in grades 5-8. The school is part of the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School District, which is ranked 91 out of 381 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Hazelwood Middle School faces several challenges compared to nearby schools. It has a more diverse student population, with 62.19% White, 16.34% African American, 7.35% Hispanic, and 12.95% two or more races. The school also struggles with a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 27.7%, compared to the district average of 20% and 9% at the high-performing Highland Hills Middle School. Academically, Hazelwood consistently underperforms the district and state averages in ILEARN test scores for English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates of just 24.97% in ELA and 24.12% in Math, compared to the district's 47.31% and 50.35%, respectively.

Hazelwood Middle School also serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, with 66.28% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite this, the school's per-student spending of $9,695 is higher than the $8,629 spent at the nearby high-performing Highland Hills Middle School. This suggests that factors beyond just funding and resources may be contributing to the academic disparities. Addressing the school's high chronic absenteeism and the unique needs of its socioeconomically disadvantaged student population will likely be key focus areas for improvement.

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.
