Summary

Hunter B. Andrews is a large PK-8 school in Hampton, VA, serving 1,081 students as part of Hampton City Public Schools, in a community where 84.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school made a sizable jump in the most recent rankings, moving from the 29th percentile (1 star) in 2024-25 to the 51st percentile (3 stars) in 2025-26 — a climb of nearly 250 spots in the statewide ranking. It is by far the largest of the nearby elementary schools, most of which serve roughly 288 to 561 students, and it is the only one in the area that serves 8th grade.

The school's biggest academic strength is its advanced coursework. Students earn 100% proficiency in Geometry and Earth Science in every reported year, and Algebra I proficiency sits at 94-100%. Elementary math is also solid, with 3rd through 6th grade proficiency rates at or above state averages. Middle school math is a different story: 7th grade math proficiency was just 50.98% and 8th grade 56.86% in 2025-26, well below the school's elementary results. Compared with its closest neighbors, Hunter B. Andrews sits in the middle of the pack. It trails Armstrong Elementary (82nd percentile), Barron Elementary (74th), and William Mason Cooper Elementary (67th), but comfortably outperforms Discovery STEM Academy (14th) and Newsome Park Elementary (3rd) across the city line in Newport News.

Chronic absenteeism has improved dramatically, falling from 23.6% in 2021-22 to 10.6% in 2024-25 — better than the state average of 14.8%, though still the highest among nearby Hampton elementary schools. The school also posts strong results for several student subgroups, ranking at the 66th percentile for African American students and 65th percentile for students from low-income families in the most recent year. Per-student spending of $8,626 is below several peer schools, suggesting the recent improvement isn't simply a product of higher funding. Overall, Hunter B. Andrews is a large, high-poverty PK-8 school with outstanding advanced math and science offerings, a clear positive trajectory, and room to grow in standard middle school math and 5th grade science.

Thursday, February 2, 2023

Okay at best and only if your child has no learning disabilities. It's almost impossible to have a 504 plan or IEP written unless your child is acting out behavior wise, not even with written expressed need from a DOCTOR of psychology! They will happily let your child fail every year then pass them at the end with D's. Bullying is another problem. They don't address it and even if the child tells an adult nothing is done. It basically comes down to the parent harassing the school just to get the staff to do anything about it. I can't say I like this school. It looks nice and relatively new and the staff seems good but ultimately they are inept and ineffective. I've had 3 children attend, 2 have been bullied, one has been allowed to struggle multiple years with them refusing to address it even after a diagnosis and 1 child who is in highschool now, has never complained other than letting it slip that he was bullied but he didn't care because it was a girl and he didn't find her threatening. My first experience there was enrolling my son...a pissed off mother was in the office stating that her son has called her from the bathrooms where he was hiding saying that people were threatening to beat him up and that she was going to call the police if they did not do something about it. I recall the office staff trying to shush and quiet her but it was not the first experience that a parent would want to witness or have when they are enrolling their child. I should have seen it as a warning but did not. I don't like my children being zoned for this school. Even the bus rides are awful and again nothing is done about these out of control violent kids Close Quote

My step son goes to this school. So far no real problems. My 5 yr old will be starting kindergarten in september.Hopefully all goes well. The school is fairly new, it's clean, the staff seems nice enough. It's a large school, but the middle school is seperate. I don't care for the combined elm/middle school idea. Other than that, so far so good Close Quote
