Summary

Hamilton Grange Middle School is a public middle school in New York City's District 6, serving 310 students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of New York middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hamilton Grange Middle School's academic performance is a significant concern, with proficiency rates on standardized tests well below the district and state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.87% of 6th graders, 30.11% of 7th graders, and 46.88% of 8th graders were proficient in English Language Arts, while in Math, the proficiency rates were 32.86% for 6th graders, 41.05% for 7th graders, and 41.41% for 8th graders. The school's performance on Regents exams is also concerning, with only 40.43% of students proficient in Algebra I and 45.45% proficient in Living Environment Biology.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Mott Hall School and KIPP Beyond Charter School, Hamilton Grange Middle School stands out as one of the lowest-performing schools in the area. Despite spending significantly more per student ($30,531 in 2023-2024) than the district and state averages, the school's academic outcomes remain poor, raising questions about the efficiency and effectiveness of the school's resource allocation and utilization.
