Summary:
Southampton has one elementary school in this data set—William E Norris, serving grades PK–6 with 475 students in the Southampton district—so there are no other local elementary schools to compare it against. The school is rated 3 stars, and the district ranks 134 out of 351 districts, or the 62nd percentile. MCAS Next Generation testing covers grades 3–6, while PK–2 are not represented in the test-score rows. School and district test scores are identical in every reported row, so there is no school-versus-district gap to review here.
