Summary

Hampton Oaks Elementary is a K–5 school in Stafford County Public Schools serving about 887 students in the Stafford, VA area, ranking 678th out of 1,111 Virginia elementary schools for the 2025–2026 school year. The school sits in the 39th percentile statewide, slightly below the Virginia elementary median and below the district's overall 44th percentile. About 33.3% of students receive free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism is 14.2% — down sharply from 22.8% two years earlier. The school spends $8,611 per student and maintains a 15.5:1 student-teacher ratio, one of the lowest spending levels among neighboring elementary schools.

The most striking pattern at Hampton Oaks is the divide between grade levels. Fourth graders exceeded both district and state averages in reading, math, and Virginia Studies in 2025–2026, with Virginia Studies scores nearly six points above the state. Fifth graders, however, posted just 59.15% proficiency in both math and science — roughly 13 points below the state in math and 10 points below in science. Nearby Margaret Brent Elementary posted 85.14% in 5th grade math, and Winding Creek Elementary — which has a similar poverty rate and similar per-student spending — reached 74.85%. This suggests 5th grade math and science are a clear priority area.

Subgroup results are uneven. Hispanic students rank near the statewide median for that subgroup, but disabled students rank in the 9th percentile and military-connected students in the 12th percentile — a surprising result for a Stafford County school given the area's large military population. Low-income students rank in the 29th percentile. While the school has improved from the 27th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 39th percentile today, it still trails comparable schools like Winding Creek (53rd percentile) and Park Ridge Elementary, which serves a nearly identical poverty rate. The improving attendance trend and strong 4th grade results are encouraging signs, but the school clearly has room to grow.

Open Quote I have never once had an issue with a teacher, administrator, or faculty member at this school, and I truthfully have two rather difficult, rather willful children enrolled here. Every member of the staff , from what I have been able to observe, is well engaged in the development and teaching of each and every child, and does everything they can to make sure that the students (not the parents or the external influences) come first.
I applaud the school as a whole, and would highly recommend any parent with an elementary school aged child to consider placement at Hampton Oaks Elementary, and within the Hampton Oaks community. There are military kids, transitional kids, black, white, Hispanic, Asian, Middle Eastern, Indian, Polynesian...affluent, struggling, every race, creed, and background. It's one of the more well rounded schools I've seen as a parent, without the complications that you may expect from the more urban or city oriented school environments.
Huge kudos to this school. My children are definitely benefiting from the work being done there, and it shows in their daily interactions with every other kid they run into. Close Quote

Open Quote My child previously attended a private school and her level of confidence has improved since being enrolled at Hampton Oaks. The teachers all care about the students and show a true interest in their individual growth and success. I think the low test scores are reflective of the amount of military families living in the area. Many of these families would not be as familiar with Virginia history as students living in other areas. It's disheartening to see such a great school get such a low rating on here. Close Quote
