Hammond Hill Elementary is a public elementary school located in North Augusta, South Carolina, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 677 and part of the Aiken 01 school district.

Hammond Hill Elementary consistently outperforms the Aiken 01 district and the state of South Carolina in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had 68.9% of 3rd graders, 65.8% of 4th graders, and 60.2% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district at 51%, 55.4%, and 50%, respectively, and the state at 53.8%, 57.2%, and 55.7%. In mathematics, Hammond Hill had 66.4% of 3rd graders, 55.1% of 4th graders, and 61.5% of 5th graders proficient or better, compared to the district at 46.9%, 43.2%, and 35.1%, and the state at 54.5%, 51%, and 45.8%. The school's diverse student population, with 56.72% White, 15.21% African American, and 19.94% Hispanic students, is a key differentiating factor compared to nearby schools like Warrenville Elementary, Byrd Elementary, and Graniteville Elementary, which tend to have higher percentages of White or African American students.

Hammond Hill Elementary's consistent academic excellence, with the school consistently ranking in the top 30% of South Carolina elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in most years, is a testament to the quality of education it provides. The school's strong performance across different racial subgroups, including Hispanic students, suggests that it is effectively addressing the needs of all students, regardless of their background. Additionally, the declining percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 46.72% in 2020-2021 to 26.14% in 2022-2023, indicates a potential improvement in the socioeconomic status of the school's families.

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.
