Summary

Eddie White Middle School in Hampton, GA, is a large public school serving 1,364 students in grades 6 through 8, and it is part of the Clayton County district, where 100% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most impressive highlight at Eddie White is its Algebra I program. In the most recent school year, 85.7% of 8th graders scored proficient or better on the End of Course assessment—far above the district average of 31% and the state average of 48.1%. This puts Eddie White on par with high-performing schools in neighboring districts, such as Whitewater Middle School (99.3%) and Dutchtown Middle School (88.3%). The school also earns a 3-star rating for its work with English Language Learners, ranking in the 67th percentile statewide for that subgroup—a clear strength. However, the picture is mixed: while advanced math excels, proficiency in standard 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade math is low (17.2%, 17.2%, and 25.3%, respectively), and 8th-grade science proficiency dropped to just 11.1%, below the district average of 17.5% and less than half the state average of 29.7%.

Chronic absenteeism is a persistent challenge, with 21.7% of students missing significant school time—better than the district average of 28.0% but higher than the state average of 17.7%. Compared to nearby schools, Eddie White has lower absenteeism than Kendrick Middle School (30.3%) and Jonesboro Middle School (36.0%), but much higher than M.D. Roberts Middle School (8.5%). The school’s overall state ranking has improved modestly over the past few years, moving from 510th to 460th out of 578 Georgia middle schools. For parents, this is a school with a proven ability to accelerate students in advanced math and support English learners, but families should be aware that standard grade-level math and science need attention, and attendance is a key factor in student success.
