Summary

Hyattsville Middle is a public magnet middle school serving grades 6-8 in Hyattsville, Maryland, with 1,194 students.

For example, in 2024-2025, only 7.1% of Hyattsville Middle students were proficient or better in Math, compared to 13.1% for the district and 26.5% for the state.

Hyattsville Middle also struggles with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 31.5% to 35.0% over the past few years, much higher than the state average.
