Summary

Hampton Middle School serves 752 students in grades 6-8 in the Henry County School District, located in Hampton, Georgia, a community where about 73.5% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking bright spot at Hampton Middle is its advanced math and science program. In 2025-2026, 81.3% of students taking Algebra I scored proficient or better—far exceeding the district average of 35.1% and the state average of 48.1%. Similarly, 75% of students taking High School Physical Science scored proficient, well above district and state averages. This represents a dramatic improvement from just a few years ago. However, grade-level math tells a different story: only 16.9% of 6th graders, 24.7% of 7th graders, and 26.9% of 8th graders scored proficient in their standard math classes, all below district and state averages. The school appears to be highly effective at accelerating its top math students while the majority of students in regular classes continue to struggle. Eighth-grade science (17.3% proficient) and social studies (20.8% proficient) also remain below state averages, though science has improved substantially from 4.6% in 2023-2024.

Encouragingly, chronic absenteeism has been cut in half since 2021-2022, dropping from 29.4% to 14.2%—now better than both the district (19.6%) and state (17.7%) averages. Per-student spending has risen 30% over three years to $12,848, and the student-teacher ratio improved to 16:1. Compared to nearby Luella Middle School, Hampton outperforms it in nearly every metric, including Algebra I proficiency (81.3% vs. 28.1%) and chronic absenteeism. However, Dutchtown Middle School ranks higher overall and posts stronger grade-level math, science, and social studies scores. Impact Academy Middle School also far exceeds Hampton in grade-level math proficiency, though it serves a lower percentage of low-income students. Hampton Middle shows clear signs of improvement, but its biggest challenge remains raising achievement for students not in accelerated programs.
