Summary

Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School in Jackson, GA, serves approximately 495 students in grades PK-5 as part of Butts County Schools, and has become a standout success story in recent years.

This school has shown remarkable improvement, climbing from the 46th percentile statewide in 2023-2024 to the 69th percentile in 2025-2026—a jump of nearly 300 positions that places it among the top third of elementary schools in Georgia. The most impressive strength is 4th grade mathematics, where 64.7% of students scored proficient or above in 2025-2026, beating the state average by nearly 15 points and more than doubling the proficiency rate at nearby Jackson Elementary School (23.1%). The school also excels in 5th grade science, matching the state average exactly at 44.2% while outperforming its district by nearly 10 points. Within Butts County, Daughtry is the clear leader, ranking well above Stark Elementary School (55th percentile) and Jackson Elementary School (16th percentile).

What makes these results even more notable is the school's commitment to every student. Chronic absenteeism has dropped dramatically from 34.0% in 2021-2022 to just 11.9% in 2025-2026—far below both the district (18.7%) and state (17.7%) averages. The school also invests heavily in its students, spending $15,790 per pupil with a favorable 12.6:1 student-teacher ratio. While English Language Arts scores are not yet available for this release, the school's consistent excellence in math and science, combined with its strong attendance and targeted support, makes it a model for high-poverty schools across Georgia. For parents considering schools in the area, Daughtry offers a proven track record of growth and achievement that rivals even schools in neighboring Henry County with far fewer economic challenges.
