Summary

Hazelwood Middle School is a public middle school located in New Albany, Indiana, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 810 students. It is part of the New Albany-Floyd County Consolidated School District, which is ranked 100 out of 380 school districts in Indiana and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to the state average, Hazelwood Middle School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in ILEARN test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (31.36%) and Math (19.5%) were significantly lower than the district (50.18% and 50.31%, respectively) and state averages. Additionally, Hazelwood Middle School has had high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.1% to 26% over the past few years, which is higher than the district and state averages. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.81% to 66.28% over the past few years, indicating a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students compared to the district.

When comparing Hazelwood Middle School to other nearby middle schools within the same district, such as Highland Hills Middle School and Nathaniel Scribner Middle School, the academic performance gap is quite significant. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Highland Hills Middle School had proficiency rates of 60.64% in English Language Arts and 59.18% in Math, while Nathaniel Scribner Middle School had 39.4% and 31.32%, respectively. This suggests that Hazelwood Middle School is underperforming compared to its peers within the same district, and addressing the underlying causes of these challenges could be crucial in improving the overall performance and outcomes for the students at Hazelwood Middle School.
