Summary

Hyattsville Middle is a large public school in Hyattsville, MD, serving 1,305 students in grades 6-8 within the Prince George's County Public Schools district, where over 94% of students qualify for free and reduced lunch.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture. Overall state rankings place it in the bottom half of Maryland middle schools, with significant challenges in grade-level math (only 9.5% proficient) and English Language Arts (34.3% proficient). However, a standout bright spot is its Algebra I program: 42.9% of students taking the Algebra I end-of-course exam were proficient in 2025-2026, nearly double the state average and almost four times the district average. This suggests a strong, targeted program for advanced math students. The school also showed dramatic improvement in chronic absenteeism, dropping from 35.0% in 2023-2024 to 21.7% in 2024-2025—a rate now below the district average and better than nearby schools like Nicholas Orem Middle (32.7%) and William Wirt Middle (28.8%).

Compared to its Prince George's County peers, Hyattsville Middle is a middle-of-the-pack performer, outperforming Buck Lodge Middle and Sonia Sotomayor Middle at Adelphi, but clearly behind Greenbelt Middle (53rd percentile, 23% math proficiency). The contrast with schools just a few miles away in Montgomery County Public Schools is stark: Takoma Park Middle (84th percentile) boasts 49.6% math and 71.1% ELA proficiency. Notably, Hyattsville Middle spends $16,910 per student—comparable to high-performing Montgomery County schools—highlighting that the challenge is less about funding and more about overcoming the significant obstacles associated with high-poverty schools.
