It is part of the Philadelphia City School District, which is ranked 494 out of 610 districts in Pennsylvania and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of Pennsylvania elementary schools over the past decade.

Moore J Hampton School consistently underperforms the district and state in PSSA Math, Science, and English Language Arts proficiency, with only 30.5% of students proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 21.8% for the district and 40.4% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low in Math, with proficiency rates ranging from 27-35% in recent years, compared to the state average of around 40-50%. While African American and English Language Learner students perform relatively better, with 3-4 star rankings, White and disabled students perform very poorly, with 0-1 star rankings, suggesting significant achievement gaps.

The nearby Franklin Benjamin School, Allen Ethan School, and Solis-Cohen Solomon School also perform poorly, with low test scores and rankings similar to Moore J Hampton School, indicating that the challenges faced by the school are not unique but are systemic issues within the broader Philadelphia City School District. The high poverty levels, as indicated by the free and reduced-price lunch rates over 99%, may be a significant factor contributing to the school's low academic performance, and addressing the achievement gaps between different student demographics could be a focus area for improvement.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
