Summary

Hampton High is a public high school located in Hampton, Virginia, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,240 students. It is part of the Hampton City Public Schools district, which is ranked 52 out of 129 school districts in Virginia and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hampton High has shown steady improvement in its academic performance and student outcomes over the years. The school's statewide ranking has moved from 317 out of 321 Virginia high schools in 2014-2015 to 117 out of 328 in 2024-2025. While its performance on SOL (Standards of Learning) tests is mixed compared to district and state averages, the school excels in subjects like Algebra I and Algebra II. Notably, Hampton High's performance is particularly strong for its African American and Hispanic student populations, ranking 40th and 120th, respectively, out of Virginia high schools in 2024-2025.

Compared to nearby schools, Hampton High performs better than Phoebus High and Kecoughtan High in several academic areas, but those schools have higher graduation rates and lower dropout rates. However, Poquoson High, a school outside the Hampton City Public Schools district, consistently outperforms Hampton High on SOL tests and has a higher statewide ranking. Overall, Hampton High's continued focus on supporting its diverse student body and addressing performance gaps will be crucial for its future success.
