Q: Is Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School a good school?

Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School ranks 669 th of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 537 students in grades PK-5 in Jackson, Georgia, which is part of the Butts County School District. The school faces significant challenges, as evidenced by its consistently low test scores, rankings, and ratings compared to state and regional averages.

Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary School's test scores are generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's 3rd grade ELA proficiency rate was 32.3% compared to the state average of 38.4%, and the 5th grade math proficiency rate was 31.2% compared to the state average of 41%. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools, ranging from 464th out of 1,244 schools in 2021-2022 to 669th out of 1,248 schools in 2023-2024, with a 2-3 star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years.

While the school serves a high-poverty student population, with 83.24% to 88.65% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and spends relatively more per student ($9,034 to $10,379) compared to nearby schools, these factors have not translated into stronger academic outcomes. When compared to other schools in the Butts County and Henry County districts, Hampton L. Daughtry Elementary performs similarly or slightly better than the Butts County schools but lags behind the higher-performing Henry County schools, such as New Hope Elementary and Ola Elementary.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
