Summary:
The city of Hampton, Tennessee is home to two schools - Hampton Elementary and Hampton High School. These schools serve students from elementary through high school grades and are part of the Carter County school district.
Hampton Elementary stands out for its relatively high percentage of white students (96.17%) and strong 3rd grade ELA performance, with 60.8% proficiency in 2023-2024, significantly higher than the state and county averages. However, the school struggles in 7th and 8th grade ELA, with proficiency rates of only 21.3% and 19.8% respectively. In contrast, Hampton High School has had fluctuating performance, with a 1-star rating in 2021-2022, 2-star rating in 2022-2023, and 1-star rating in 2023-2024, and relatively low proficiency rates in Biology I and English I across all grades.
Both schools have a majority white student population, with Hampton Elementary at 96.17% and Hampton High School at 95.67%. This lack of diversity may be an area for further investigation. Additionally, while the schools have relatively high spending per student and student-teacher ratios, these metrics alone do not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, and further analysis is needed to understand the relationship between resource allocation and student performance.
