Summary

Mount Carmel Elementary School in Hampton, GA, serves approximately 547 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Henry County School District, where about 77% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Mount Carmel holds a steady middle-tier position among Georgia elementary schools, ranking in the 37th percentile statewide. The school shows particular strength in 5th grade science, where its proficiency rate (32.9%) exceeds the district average (31.1%), and it has consistently matched or outperformed the district in this subject for several years. Another bright spot is math in 3rd grade, where 43.6% of students meet proficiency—nearly 7 points above the district average. However, math performance dips by 5th grade, falling slightly below the district average. The school also stands out for its work with African American students, earning a 3-star rating and ranking in the 53rd percentile statewide for this group—well above its overall ranking. Class sizes are favorable at 14.3 students per teacher, better than nearby Birch Creek Elementary School (16:1) and Dutchtown Elementary School (15.9:1).

Compared to nearby schools, Mount Carmel outperforms several that spend more per student. For example, Oakland Elementary School spends $17,653 per student and ranks in the 28th percentile, while Mount Carmel spends $14,343 and ranks higher. Hampton Elementary School ($16,925) and Flippen Elementary School ($15,711) also trail Mount Carmel in ranking despite higher spending. The school has also made impressive progress reducing chronic absenteeism, dropping from 25.8% in 2022-2023 to 18.0%—a 30% improvement that now nearly matches the state average. While Rocky Creek Elementary (58th percentile) and Dutchtown (49th percentile) rank higher, Mount Carmel’s efficient use of resources, improving attendance, and strong science outcomes make it a solid choice for families in the area.
