Summary

Located in Campton in Wolfe County, Campton Elementary School serves 315 students in grades K–6. The most pressing concern is attendance: chronic absenteeism was 37% in 2025–26, above the state’s 24% and just below Wolfe County’s 38%; it was tied for the highest rate among nearby schools with reported figures.

Academic results are strongest in editing and mechanics, where 84% of fifth-graders were proficient—36 points above the state and 12 above the district. That score also exceeds the nearby-school average of 52%. Writing is the clearest weakness: 27% were proficient, below the state at 35%, the district at 37%, and the nearby average of 32%. Math varies by grade: fourth-grade proficiency was 31%, 12 points below the state and 15 below the nearby average, while third-grade math was 19 points above the state. Reading was above state levels in grades 3–5, including 64% in grade 5, but grade 6 was 3 points below the state and 11 below the district.

Results have shifted in different directions: from 2022–23 to 2025–26, social studies rose 24 points and editing and mechanics rose 11, while writing fell 11. Chronic absenteeism also declined from 59% in 2022–23, though it remains high. SchoolDigger ranked the school at the 65th statewide percentile in 2025–26 (240 of 684; 3 stars), after rankings ranging from the 14th percentile in 2018–19 to the 84th in 2023–24. Its 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 10.8:1, tied for the lowest among nearby schools, and 87% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in school year 2024–25. SchoolDigger’s Special Education Students ranking is notably high: the school was at the 91st percentile (27 of 314), compared with its overall 65th percentile.
