Summary

Hampshire Elementary School serves 446 students in grades K–5 in Hampshire, Illinois. Its 2025–2026 results are above state and district averages in English language arts (ELA) and math, but the clearest concern is fifth-grade science, where proficiency is well below both benchmarks and nearby schools.

Math is Hampshire’s strongest subject against the state and CUSD 300: 51% of students were proficient, compared with 40% statewide and 39% districtwide. ELA was also above both, at 59% versus 56% statewide and 52% districtwide. Locally, however, Hampshire is closer to the middle: nearby schools with comparable tested grades averaged 60% in ELA and 52% in math, slightly above Hampshire. Science is the weakest result: 38% of fifth graders were proficient, compared with 48% statewide, 45% districtwide and a nearby-school average of 57%. Hampshire was second-lowest among nearby schools reporting fifth-grade science; only Gary D Wright Elementary School scored lower.

Results have moved in different directions over time. ELA rose from 42% in 2023–2024 to 59% in 2025–2026, while math increased overall from 45% to 51% after reaching 61% in 2024–2025. Attendance is a positive: chronic absenteeism fell from 22% in 2022–2023 to 10% in 2025–2026, below the district’s 22% and the state’s 24%. SchoolDigger’s overall ranking dropped from 74–75th percentile and four stars in recent prior years to the 53rd percentile and three stars in 2025–2026. Its statewide ranking for Female Students also fell sharply, from the 74th percentile to the 37th; for White Students, it fell from the 57th to the 20th percentile. These rankings are separate from proficiency scores. Hampshire’s 2024–2025 student–teacher ratio was 15.1, and 31% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year.
