Summary

Hampton High School is a public high school serving grades 7-12 in Hampton, Arkansas, with a total enrollment of 256 students. The school is part of the Hampton School District, which is ranked 220 out of 250 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hampton High School consistently ranks in the bottom quarter of Arkansas high schools, with academic performance significantly below the state average across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 19-22% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, Math, and Science, compared to the state averages of 34-39%. The school's performance on the ACT exam is also very low, with only 3-27% of students meeting proficiency in the various subject areas, compared to the state averages of 20-55%. However, the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.9 to 11.8 over the past few years, which may indicate a more personalized learning environment.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Fordyce High School, Harmony Grove High School, Smackover High School, Hermitage High School, and Bearden High School, generally perform better than Hampton High School on academic measures, with higher proficiency rates and higher state rankings. These nearby schools also have lower percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a less economically disadvantaged student population. Addressing the challenges faced by Hampton High School will likely require a multi-faceted approach that addresses the unique needs of the student population and leverages the school's strengths to drive improvements in student outcomes.
