Summary

Hamburg Middle School is a public middle school serving 751 students in grades 6-8 in the Hamburg Central School District in Hamburg, NY. The school is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, with its statewide ranking fluctuating over the past 10 years.

Hamburg Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in proficiency rates for the New York State Assessments in English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across grades 6-8. The school's proficiency rates in Regents exams for Living Environment and Algebra I are significantly higher than the state and district averages, reaching 100% in recent years. Additionally, the school's 8th grade science proficiency rate is higher than the state and district averages. While the school's female and male students, as well as its white students and special education students, generally perform better than their respective state averages, the school's low socioeconomic status (SES) students have struggled, with their proficiency rates lagging behind the state average.

Hamburg Middle School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.7 to 10.6 over the past three years, which is lower than many of the nearby schools, such as Orchard Park Middle School and Frontier Middle School. The school's per-student spending has also increased from $15,728 in 2020-2021 to $19,313 in 2023-2024, which is higher than the state average. These factors suggest a focus on providing adequate resources and support for students, which may be contributing to the school's strong academic performance.
