Hamburg Middle School

Hamburg Middle School is a small public middle school located in the remote rural area of Hamburg, Iowa. Serving students from sixth through eighth grade, the school has an enrollment of just 39 students and employs two full-time equivalent teachers, resulting in a student-to-teacher ratio of 19.5:1. While the MySchoolScout rating for academic performance is relatively low at 2.9 out of 10, with a state ranking of #1194 out of 1288 schools (7th percentile), Hamburg Middle School still manages to have 67% of its students proficient or above in ELA/Reading and 52% proficient or above in Math.

Despite the challenges, the school remains committed to supporting student development and growth. The small class sizes allow for personalized attention from teachers who can cater to individual needs. With limited neighborhood data available, Hamburg Middle School serves a tight-knit community where everyone knows each other and works together to provide the best education possible for their students.

With an enrollment of 39 students, Hamburg Middle School is a smaller school where families often find a close-knit community atmosphere. Smaller settings can mean more individual attention from teachers and staff, though they may offer fewer extracurricular options than larger schools.

Located in a rural area, Hamburg Middle School may involve longer commutes for some families. Rural schools often serve as community anchors and may have smaller class sizes, but parents should consider transportation logistics, after-school program availability, and access to specialized services.
