Summary

Hampton Elementary is a K-5 school in Lutherville, MD, serving 555 students within the Baltimore County Public Schools district, and it stands out as a solidly above-average school that significantly outperforms district and state averages in both Math and English Language Arts, though it is surrounded by a cluster of exceptionally high-performing schools.

While Hampton is a strong school, its recent trajectory shows a slight decline from peak performance in the mid-to-late 2010s, when it earned 5-star ratings and ranked in the top 10% of Maryland elementary schools. Currently, it holds a 4-star rating and ranks 207th out of 864 schools statewide, which is commendable but notably lower than its closest neighbors. For example, Rodgers Forge Elementary, Pinewood Elementary, Timonium Elementary, West Towson Elementary, and Riderwood Elementary all rank in the top 36 schools in the state (96th-99th percentile). The proficiency gap is substantial: in Math, Hampton scored 47.8% proficient compared to an average of 74.3% for those five neighbors, and in English Language Arts, Hampton scored 64% proficient versus their average of 84.8%. This gap is not due to poor performance at Hampton but rather the exceptional performance of its neighbors.

Chronic absenteeism is a major challenge for Hampton, with a rate of 18.2% in 2024-2025—more than double that of its high-performing neighbors like Timonium (5.9%) and Pinewood (6.9%). Additionally, Hampton serves a more diverse socioeconomic student body, with 33.3% of students receiving free/reduced lunch compared to rates as low as 9.5% at Rodgers Forge and Riderwood. The school also operates with lower per-student spending ($16,417) and a higher student-teacher ratio (15.2) than many of its top-tier competitors, which may contribute to the performance gap. Despite these challenges, Hampton remains a resilient school that does a solid job with its student population, and it is a strong option for families seeking a well-performing school in a competitive local landscape.
