Summary:
The city of Hampton, Georgia is home to 15 schools, including 8 elementary schools, 3 middle schools, and 4 high schools. The data reveals stark differences in performance between schools in the Clayton County and Henry County school districts.
Dutchtown High School stands out as the top-performing high school, ranking 185 out of 458 Georgia high schools and boasting the highest graduation rate at 90.9% as well as the best test scores in the area. Meanwhile, Lovejoy High School and Eddie White Middle School have seen their rankings and test scores decline in recent years. At the elementary level, Rocky Creek Elementary and Kemp Elementary School stand out for their strong performance, particularly in Mathematics.
The data also reveals a clear correlation between student poverty, as measured by free and reduced-price lunch rates, and academic achievement. Schools with the highest poverty levels, such as those in the Clayton County district, tend to have the lowest test scores and rankings. This suggests that addressing socioeconomic challenges may be key to improving outcomes across the Hampton school system.
