While Hampton High School's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 86.7% to 92.5%, it is generally above the state average but lower than some nearby schools like Dutchtown High (90.9%) and Eagle's Landing High (88.2%).

The data suggests that Hampton High School could benefit from targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes, such as academic support programs, teacher professional development, and community engagement initiatives. Addressing the needs of the school's high-poverty student population may be a key focus area for improvement. While the school's statewide ranking has been declining, from 196 out of 410 Georgia high schools in 2020-2021 to 293 out of 458 in 2023-2024, the data indicates that Hampton High School has room for growth and the potential to better serve its students and community.

I hear nothing but horror stories about Hampton High School. Terrible leadership breeds terrible results. They are reaping what they have sown. They have locked out God's love and have opened the doors to depravity. Close Quote

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.
