Summary

Hoosick Falls Middle School is a public middle school serving grades 5-8 in the Hoosick Falls Central School District, with 312 students located in Hoosick Falls, NY. The school district is ranked 593 out of 874 in New York and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Hoosick Falls Middle School consistently underperforms the state average in proficiency rates for English Language Arts (ELA) and Math across all grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 5th grade ELA proficiency rate was 32.94% compared to the state average of 56.61%, and the 5th grade Math proficiency rate was 18.99% compared to the state average of 54.16%. The school's performance is particularly weak for certain student subgroups, with the White student subgroup ranking in the bottom quartile (601 out of 775) of New York middle schools in 2024-2025, and the Low Socioeconomic Status (SES) student subgroup ranking in the bottom half (746 out of 1283) of New York middle schools in 2024-2025. However, the school has a relatively high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 54.46% in 2022-2023 to 56.09% in 2023-2024, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families.

Despite the school's academic struggles, Hoosick Falls Middle School's students perform exceptionally well on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency rates in Living Environment and Algebra I in recent years. Additionally, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9 to 10.5 students per teacher in recent years, which could be a strength. In comparison, Schuylerville Middle School consistently outperforms the state average in ELA and Math proficiency rates and has a higher 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, suggesting that Hoosick Falls Middle School may have room for improvement in addressing the underlying factors contributing to its academic challenges.
