Summary

Hazelwood Middle School is a grades 5–8 school in New Albany, IN, with 798 students, serving a high-poverty community where 65.04% qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2024-25. It belongs to the New Albany-Floyd County Con School district, ranked 102 of 374 districts in Indiana (73rd percentile, 4 stars), yet Hazelwood ranks 334 of 486 (31st percentile, 2 stars) in 2025-26 and has stayed in the bottom third of Indiana middle schools for about a decade. Chronic absenteeism is 22.6%, versus 16.3% district and 16.7% statewide; it has improved from 27.7% in 2022-23 but remains high.

In 2025-26, all-grade proficiency was 31.39% in English Language Arts, 20.72% in Math, and 26.67% in Science, far below district rates of 51.72%, 50.05%, and 45.47%. Math is the weakest area across nearly every grade, from 17.44% in 8th grade to 25.82% in 6th, while district math ranges from about 39% to 46% and state math from about 34% to 42%. The clearest bright spot is 8th grade ELA at 42.27%, close to the state’s 44.0%, and 5th grade Social Studies improved from 17.79% in 2023-24 to 20.11% in 2024-25 to 32.75% in 2025-26, though it remains below district and state.

Compared with nearby schools, Hazelwood has the lowest 2025-26 rank percentile. In the same district, Highland Hills Middle School is at the 95th percentile with 5 stars and higher proficiency (ELA 64.56%, Math 58.76%, Science 61.07%), while Nathaniel Scribner Middle School is at the 57th percentile with 3 stars (ELA 43.4%, Math 30.85%, Science 33.33%). Hazelwood spends $11,376 per student (2023-24), more than Highland Hills Middle School’s $10,091, and has a lower student-teacher ratio (13.5 vs. 18.1), so resources alone do not explain the gap. Similar-poverty schools sometimes outperform Hazelwood: Parkview Middle School has identical free/reduced lunch (65.24% vs. 65.04%) but higher math (28.47% vs. 20.72%) and science (30.23% vs. 26.67%), and River Valley Middle School has similar free/reduced lunch (64.53%) with higher math (30.78%) and science (31.07%). Likely levers are math instruction, attendance, and school-level practices; despite bright spots, the school remains persistently below district and most nearby schools.
