Summary:

The Hampton City Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 30 schools, including 21 elementary schools, 5 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The district as a whole is ranked 52 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

A few schools stand out in the district. Mary W. Jackson Elementary is ranked 45 out of 1,110 elementary schools in Virginia and has a 5-star rating, with exceptional test scores. Francis W. Jones Magnet Middle is also a top performer, ranked 34 out of 419 middle schools in Virginia with a 5-star rating and very high test scores. The district's high schools, Hampton High, Kecoughtan High, and Bethel High, are the top performers, with strong graduation rates and relatively low dropout rates.

However, the data also reveals significant disparities in test scores across the district, with some schools performing much better than others, even within the same grade levels. Additionally, most schools have very high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high levels of economic disadvantage. The district also struggles with a consistent 15.7% chronic absenteeism rate across all schools, which is an area of concern.
