Hampton City Public Schools


Summary:

The Hampton City Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 29 schools, including 20 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 4 high schools, serving students from diverse backgrounds. The district as a whole is ranked 56 out of 130 school districts in Virginia and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Within the district, a few schools stand out for their exceptional performance. Mary W. Jackson Elementary ranks 61 out of 1,114 elementary schools in Virginia and earns a 5-star rating, with over 90% proficiency in math and over 85% in reading. Armstrong Elementary also performs well, ranking 215 out of 1,114 elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating, with over 90% of 3rd graders proficient in math. The Francis W. Jones Magnet Middle school is another high-performing institution, ranking 62 out of 417 middle schools in Virginia and earning a 4-star rating.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the highest-performing and lowest-performing schools, both within the district and compared to state averages. This suggests the need for targeted interventions and support to address these disparities, particularly in schools with high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which is an indicator of economic disadvantage. By identifying and learning from the successful strategies of the district's top-performing schools, the Hampton City Public Schools can work to raise overall academic achievement and ensure equitable access to high-quality education for all students.
