Summary:
Hampton Bays Union Free School District has a single middle school, Hampton Bays Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school's performance on state assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math is generally below the state average, with proficiency rates ranging from around 24% to 52% across different grade levels and subjects. However, the school performs significantly better on Regents exams, with proficiency rates of over 90% in Living Environment and Algebra I.
Hampton Bays Middle School has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, at 68.17% in the 2023-2024 school year. The school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 to 1 and a per-student spending of $28,713, which is higher than the state average. This suggests that the district is investing significant resources into the middle school, but the investment does not seem to be translating into consistently strong performance on state assessments.
The discrepancy in performance between state assessments and Regents exams suggests that the school may be focusing more on preparing students for the Regents exams, which are required for high school graduation, rather than the broader state assessments. Additionally, the school's demographics and resource allocation may be contributing factors to its academic outcomes, and further analysis would be needed to understand the underlying drivers of the school's performance.
