Hamburg Middle School

Summary:

Hamburg Middle School is a public middle school serving 755 students in grades 6-8 in the Hamburg Central School District in Hamburg, NY. While the school has a relatively high per-student spending and small class sizes, its academic performance has been declining over the past decade, with its statewide ranking dropping from 229 out of 1,455 New York middle schools in 2016-2017 to 933 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024.

Hamburg Middle School's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state averages, especially in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math. However, the school performs better in 8th grade assessments, with 60.71% proficient in ELA and 60.98% proficient in Math, both exceeding the state averages. The school also has high proficiency rates in Regents exams, with 100% of students passing the Living Environment and Algebra I exams, significantly outperforming the state averages. Despite these bright spots, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with special education students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds performing significantly worse than their peers.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Cheektowaga Middle School and East Aurora Middle School, Hamburg Middle School's academic performance is generally lower. However, the school's high per-student spending and small class sizes suggest that it may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to better support student learning and address the persistent achievement gaps within its student population.

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.
