Summary

Uplift Hampton Prep High School is a charter high school in Dallas, TX, serving 414 students in grades 9-12 within the Uplift Education district, where over 82% of students come from low-income households. The school has made a remarkable turnaround, jumping from a 1-star rating to a 3-star rating and reaching the 51st percentile statewide in the 2025-2026 school year, its highest ranking in nearly a decade. This rapid improvement is a standout feature, especially when compared to nearby schools like David W. Carter High School, which ranks in the 66th percentile, and Uplift Wisdom Prep High School, which has seen a decline.

One of the school's biggest strengths is its ability to keep students on track to graduate. With a graduation rate consistently above 94% and reaching 98.6% in 2021-2022, Uplift Hampton Prep dramatically outperforms nearby traditional public schools like David W. Carter (75.3%) and Winfree Academy Charter School Dallas (42.6%). Its dropout rate is near zero, a stark contrast to the 5.6% rate at David W. Carter and 17.3% at Winfree Academy. The school also excels in supporting specific student groups, ranking in the top 30% statewide for English Language Learners (88th percentile) and Special Education students (83rd percentile), showing that targeted programs are making a real difference.

However, the school has a clear academic challenge: while 68.35% of students are proficient in Biology, only 25% are proficient in Algebra I—less than half the state average. This gap is a critical area for improvement, as Algebra I is a foundation for future success. Despite this, the school's overall trajectory is positive, and its smaller charter environment appears to provide a more supportive experience than the larger nearby public high school. For parents, Uplift Hampton Prep offers a school that is rapidly improving, keeps students in school, and shows a strong commitment to helping all students succeed.
