Summary

Hamilton Elementary is a public elementary school in Hamilton, Virginia, serving 168 students in grades PK-5. It is part of the Loudoun County Public Schools district, which is ranked 19 out of 129 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating.

Hamilton Elementary's academic performance has been inconsistent, with its ranking among Virginia elementary schools ranging from 37th to 699th in recent years. However, the school is projected to perform above the state and district averages in several subjects, including Mathematics, English Reading, and Science, in the 2024-2025 school year. Compared to nearby schools, such as Emerick Elementary and Lincoln Elementary, which outperform Hamilton Elementary across multiple grade levels and subjects, the school's academic performance is generally on par or slightly above average.

Hamilton Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is lower than the state and district averages. The school also has a lower student-teacher ratio and higher per-student spending compared to some nearby schools, suggesting that resources are being allocated in a way that may support student learning. However, the school's fluctuating performance indicates the need for a closer examination of the factors contributing to these changes and the implementation of strategies to ensure more consistent academic achievement.
