Summary:
The Prospect Park Public School District has one middle school, Prospect Park Middle School, serving grades 7–8, with results reported for 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. In the latest results, the school was below state figures in grade 7 and 8 English language arts (ELA), mathematics, and grade 8 science: for example, 37% in grade 7 ELA versus 56% statewide, and 7% in science versus 19%. The most important takeaway is that these subject results remain below state levels, while Algebra I end-of-course performance is a clear exception.
Because this is the only middle school listed, there is no school-to-school top or bottom. Against state results, its strongest comparison was Algebra I end of course: 67% proficient, 27 percentage points above the state’s 40%. Its largest shortfall was grade 7 ELA, at 37% compared with 56% statewide, a gap of 19 points; grade 7 mathematics was also well below the state, by 18 points. Algebra I grade 8 tells a different story from the end-of-course comparison: the school’s 67% was 8 points below the state’s 75%.
Results improved year over year, and the state gap narrowed in six of seven subject-and-grade comparisons; grade 8 mathematics was the exception, with the gap unchanged. ELA rose 9 points in grade 7 and 13 points in grade 8, while science increased 3 points. Both Algebra I results rose 13 points, though their state comparisons remain different. SchoolDigger lists the school at one star and the 27th percentile for 2025–2026, up from the 16th percentile the prior year, still at one star. In 2024–2025, enrollment was 143, the student-teacher ratio was 9.5:1, and 52% were free/reduced lunch eligible; chronic absenteeism was 12%, below the district’s 13% and the state’s 14%.
