Hampton Elementary School

Summary:

Hampton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 447 students in grades PK-5 in Hampton, Georgia, which is part of the Henry County School District. Despite consistent funding and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, this school has consistently underperformed compared to state and county averages, ranking in the bottom quarter of Georgia elementary schools over the past 10 years.

Key issues at Hampton Elementary include significantly lower test scores than the state average, with only 21% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA and 32.3% proficient in Math, compared to 38.4% and 45.4% statewide, respectively. The school also has very high rates of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 69.8% to 71.51%, which is much higher than the state average. Despite spending more per student ($11,521) than nearby Dutchtown Elementary ($8,644) and Luella Elementary ($8,443), Hampton Elementary has shown little to no improvement in its state ranking or test scores over the past decade.

The nearby schools in the Henry County district, such as Dutchtown Elementary, Luella Elementary, and Mount Carmel Elementary, generally outperform Hampton Elementary on test scores and have higher state rankings, despite serving similar student populations. Addressing the root causes of Hampton Elementary's poor performance, such as instructional quality, school leadership, and community factors, will be crucial to improving outcomes for the students at this struggling school.

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.
