Summary

Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 485 students in grades PK-5 in Jackson, Georgia, which is part of the Butts County School District. The school faces significant challenges in improving student achievement, particularly in English Language Arts, as it has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on standardized tests.

In 2024-2025, only 20% of 3rd graders at Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 34.9% statewide. However, the school's 4th grade Math performance was stronger, with 69.6% of students proficient or better, exceeding the state average of 49%. The school's spending per student has increased over the years, and it has made progress in reducing its student-teacher ratio from 13.6 in 2021-2022 to 12.2 in 2023-2024, which is better than nearby schools. Nonetheless, the school's statewide ranking and rating have fluctuated, indicating inconsistent performance compared to other elementary schools in Georgia.

When compared to other elementary schools in the Butts County and Henry County districts, Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary generally underperforms on test scores, especially in English Language Arts. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 20%, compared to 29.3% at Stark Elementary and 36% at New Hope Elementary. The extremely high free/reduced lunch rate at Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary (over 96%) suggests that the school serves a predominantly low-income student population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance.
