Summary

New Hampstead K-8 School in Bloomingdale, GA, serves 1,118 students in Pre-K through 8th grade as part of the Savannah-Chatham County school district, and has recently improved its statewide ranking from the 24th to the 46th percentile.

This school shows real strengths in science, especially in 8th grade, where 38.9% of students scored proficient—well above both the district (22.7%) and state (29.7%) averages. Fifth grade science also outpaces the district. Another standout: African American students at New Hampstead rank in the 73rd percentile statewide, a 4-star performance that is notably stronger than the school's overall ranking. However, middle school math is a challenge. Proficiency drops sharply from 42-44% in grades 3-5 to just 14.7% in 7th grade, far below the state average of 42%. The bright spot is that 8th graders taking Algebra I scored 47.6% proficient, beating the district's 29% and the state's 44.9%. Chronic absenteeism (21.3%) is also higher than both district and state averages, which may be a key factor in academic struggles.

Compared to nearby schools, New Hampstead sits in the middle. It outperforms Coastal Empire Montessori Charter School (14th percentile) and Gould Elementary School (31st percentile), but lags behind Georgetown School (64th percentile), which serves a similar demographic yet has less than half the chronic absenteeism rate. The school spends $15,696 per student—less than several lower-ranked peers—and serves a population where 78.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, up from 57.8% just two years ago. While math and science improved this year, literacy remains a concern based on the most recent available data. The school's strong science results and excellent outcomes for African American students suggest effective strategies exist that could be applied more broadly.
