Summary:
The Hampton area in South Carolina is home to 3 middle schools serving grades 6-8: Hampton Elementary, North District Middle, and Estill Middle. These schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, with all three reporting 100% free and reduced lunch rates.
Among the standout findings, North District Middle emerges as the highest-performing school, with 90.49% of students proficient in Algebra 1/Mathematics for the Technologies 2, significantly outpacing the district and state averages. In contrast, Estill Middle struggles with low proficiency rates, particularly in Mathematics, where only 2.6% of 8th graders were proficient. The racial composition of the schools also varies, with Estill Middle having a significantly higher percentage of African American students (90.98%) compared to the other two schools.
The data suggests that the Hampton school district faces significant challenges in providing equitable educational opportunities across its middle schools. While North District Middle stands out with higher academic performance, the overall low proficiency rates and disparities in school rankings and ratings indicate the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes, particularly in the area of Mathematics.
