Hampton Elementary

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Hampton Elementary is a public middle school located in Hampton, South Carolina, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 268 students. The school is part of the Hampton School District, which is ranked 49 out of 75 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Hampton Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.5:1, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 21.1% to 27.6% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the school's test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science are generally lower than the state and district averages. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's proficiency rates in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade ELA and Math are all below the state and district averages.

Despite the higher per-student spending of $16,687 in the 2023-2024 school year, which is higher than the nearby Estill Middle and North District Middle schools, the academic performance at Hampton Elementary remains a concern. The school serves a population where 100% of the students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Addressing the root causes of chronic absenteeism and implementing effective strategies to improve student learning outcomes should be the primary focus for the school and the Hampton School District.
