Summary

Hampshire Unit School is a K-12 unit school in Hampshire, Tennessee, serving 414 students within the Maury County Schools district, where students from elementary through high school learn under one roof. The school is comparatively well-resourced, with a low student-teacher ratio of 10.9:1 and per-pupil spending of $14,287 — the highest among nearby comparison schools, including Culleoka Unit School ($13,001), Santa Fe Unit School ($13,487), and Hickman County Learning Academy ($6,460).

Hampshire’s strongest academic results are concentrated in high school coursework. On end-of-course exams, the school significantly outperforms both its district and the state in Algebra I (45.8% proficient vs. 20.4% district), Biology I (60.0% vs. 42.7%), and English I (44.4% vs. 26.2%). It also leads both Culleoka Unit School and Santa Fe Unit School in Algebra I, Algebra II, Biology I, and English I — for example, 60% of Hampshire students passed Biology I compared to 29.5% at Culleoka. Overall ELA proficiency has climbed steadily over four years to 45.8%, above the district (35.1%) and state (40.6%). Elementary grades also shine: 3rd grade math (58.8% vs. 42.6% state) and 4th grade ELA and science (both 68.4%) are strong bright spots. However, overall math proficiency (41.2%) still trails the state (43.0%), and Geometry (31.0%) lags well behind.

The clearest concerns are the middle-school math slump and a declining graduation rate. Math proficiency drops sharply in 6th grade (25.8% vs. 40.1% state) and 7th grade (20.9% vs. 39.2%), before rebounding to a strong 51.5% in 8th grade. The graduation rate has slipped from 92.6% in 2019-20 to 81.5% in 2023-24, now below the district (85.9%) and state (89.2%). Encouragingly, the dropout rate of 3.7% is well below district and state averages, and chronic absenteeism of 14.0% is better than both the district (17.8%) and state (18.3%). Hampshire is a resource-rich K-12 school with uneven but promising results — if it can translate its high-school success into stronger middle-school math performance and reverse the graduation-rate trend, it could become one of the more compelling school stories in Maury County.
