Summary:

The Hastings Middle School is the sole middle school in the Hastings Public School District located in Hastings, Minnesota. The school serves grades 6-8 and has consistently maintained a 3-star rating out of 5 from SchoolDigger, ranking between 206 and 231 out of 519-545 Minnesota middle schools over the past three school years.

Academically, Hastings Middle School has underperformed compared to the state averages in MCA-III Math, Reading, and Science assessments. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in MCA-III Math ranged from 32.2% to 35.55%, below the state average of 40.1% to 42.94%. Similarly, the school's MCA-III Reading proficiency rates ranged from 42.7% to 55.74%, compared to the state average of 45.97% to 57.09%. The school's 5th and 8th-grade MCA-III Science proficiency rates were also below the state averages in the 2023-2024 school year.

With a student enrollment of 1,178 and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6 for the 2023-2024 school year, Hastings Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students (30.56%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's lower academic performance compared to the state averages. The Hastings Public School District, of which Hastings Middle School is a part, is ranked 147 out of 446 school districts in Minnesota and is also rated 3 stars out of 5, suggesting that the district-level performance may be an area of concern as well.
