Summary

Mount Carmel Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 559 students in grades PK-5 in Hampton, Georgia, which is part of the Henry County School District. The school has consistently underperformed the district and state averages on standardized tests, with only 25.6% of 3rd graders proficient or better in ELA in 2024-2025, compared to 28.1% in Henry County and 34.9% statewide.

Mount Carmel Elementary has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools for the past 10 years, ranging from 618th to 839th out of over 1,200 schools, and has maintained a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of this period. The school also has very high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, reaching nearly 80% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and indicates a high-poverty student population.
