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 school has relatively high spending per student and a low student-teacher ratio, its academic performance lags behind nearby high-performing schools.

Hicksville Middle School's test scores are generally below the state average, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math around 40-50% in recent years, compared to 70-90% at top-performing schools like Plainview-Old Bethpage Middle School, H.B. Mattlin Middle School, and H.B. Thompson Middle School. The school also struggles to effectively serve certain student subgroups, with very low rankings for Asian, Hispanic, and English Language Learner students.

Hicksville Middle School's statewide ranking has declined over the years, from a high of 248 out of 1,407 New York middle schools in 2014-2015 to a low of 862 out of 1,500 in 2024-2025, placing it in the bottom half of middle schools in the state. This trend is concerning and suggests the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of effective strategies to improve academic outcomes for all students.
