Hampton Elementary

Summary:

Hampton Elementary is a public school serving grades PK-8 in Hampton, Tennessee, with a student population of 548 that is predominantly White (over 95%). The school is part of the Carter County School District, which is ranked 88 out of 139 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hampton Elementary stands out for its exceptional performance in supporting special education and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, ranking in the top 10% and top 25% of Tennessee elementary schools in these categories, respectively. The school also performs relatively well in mathematics, with 38.8% of students proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to the state average of 39.7%. However, its English language arts (ELA) proficiency rates lag behind the state average, with only 33.5% of students proficient or better, particularly in the upper grades.

Compared to nearby schools like Cloudland Elementary School, Little Milligan, and Happy Valley Elementary, Hampton Elementary generally performs on par or slightly below average in most subject areas. However, its exceptional support for special education and low-SES students sets it apart from its neighbors. The school's overall academic performance has trended downward in recent years, suggesting potential challenges that the Carter County School District may need to address.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
