Summary:
The Hampton School District in Arkansas has only one high school, Hampton High School, which serves grades 9-12. The school's academic performance has been consistently below the state average, with declining proficiency rates and rankings over the past few years.
Hampton High School's proficiency rates in core subjects like English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are significantly lower than the state averages. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's Mathematics proficiency rate was just 10.2%, compared to the state average of 38.7%. This trend has continued over the past two years, with the school's overall statewide ranking dropping from 262 out of 305 high schools in 2023-2024 to 242 out of 291 high schools in 2024-2025.
The school's challenges may be partly attributed to its high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which stands at 71.09% in 2023-2024, suggesting a relatively high proportion of students from low-income families. Despite the school's above-average per-student spending of $12,291 in the 2018-2019 school year, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.9 in 2023-2024, the academic performance gaps persist, indicating that simply allocating more resources may not be the sole solution to improving outcomes for the students at Hampton High School.
