Hicksville Middle School

Summary:

Hicksville Middle School is a public middle school serving 1,185 students in grades 6-8 in Hicksville, New York, which is part of the Hicksville Union Free School District. While the district is ranked 443 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, Hicksville Middle School has seen a decline in its academic performance in recent years.

Hicksville Middle School's statewide ranking has dropped from a high of 248 out of 1,407 New York middle schools in 2014-2015 to 951 out of 1,504 in 2023-2024. Its proficiency rates on state assessments range from 31.99% to 50% in English Language Arts and 0% to 51.6% in Math across different grade levels, which are below the state and district averages. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with Asian and multi-racial students performing relatively better and Hispanic, African American, and English Language Learner students performing significantly worse compared to their peers statewide. Additionally, the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Hicksville Middle School has increased from 36.28% in 2020-2021 to 52.49% in 2022-2023, indicating a growing population of economically disadvantaged students.

Compared to nearby middle schools, such as Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School, Jericho Middle School, and H.B. Mattlin Middle School, which are all ranked significantly higher and have higher proficiency rates on state assessments, Hicksville Middle School's performance lags behind. The school's relatively high student-teacher ratio of 11.7 in 2022-2023 and lower spending per student of $19,988 in 2022-2023 may be contributing factors to its academic challenges, which need to be addressed to improve student outcomes and ensure all students have access to a high-quality education.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
