Summary:
The elementary schools located in Hampton, South Carolina provide a diverse educational landscape for students in the area. This analysis examines five schools: Estill Elementary, Varnville Elementary, Ben Hazel Primary, Brunson Elementary, and Fennell Elementary.
Hampton schools show varying levels of academic performance, with Brunson Elementary and Varnville Elementary standing out for their strong performance on 3rd-grade state assessments. Estill Elementary, on the other hand, consistently underperformed the district and state averages, indicating the need for further investigation into the specific challenges faced by this school.
Racial diversity and economic disadvantage appear to be key factors influencing academic outcomes. Schools with more diverse student populations, such as Brunson Elementary and Varnville Elementary, generally outperformed their peers. However, the high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility across all the schools suggest significant economic disadvantage, which may not be adequately addressed by the variation in spending per student observed in the data.
