Summary:
The 71744 zip code area is home to two schools - Hampton Elementary School and Hampton High School, both part of the Hampton School District. Unfortunately, these schools appear to be underperforming compared to state averages across a variety of metrics, with no clear standout schools in the area.
Both Hampton Elementary School and Hampton High School have significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Reading, Mathematics, and Science compared to the state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, the percentage of students proficient or better in ATLAS/English Language Arts for all grades at Hampton Elementary School was 26.3%, compared to the state average of 33.8%. Similarly, the percentage of students proficient or better in ATLAS/Mathematics for all grades at Hampton High School was 13.1%, compared to the state average of 36.4%. Additionally, both schools have consistently ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Arkansas and are rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating they are among the lowest-performing schools in the state.
The data suggests that the Hampton School District and the individual schools within it may require targeted interventions and support to address the underlying issues contributing to their academic underperformance, such as teacher quality, curriculum, and student support services. The high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at both schools indicate that the schools serve a predominantly low-income student population, which can be a significant factor in their academic underperformance. However, despite the relatively high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios, the schools have not shown significant improvement in their academic performance over the years.
