Hampton High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (95.67%) compared to the state average and nearby schools, with lower representation of minority students. Academically, the school's performance on TNReady/EOC assessments is generally lower than the state and county averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Biology I (17.4%), English I (17.5%), and Algebra I (21%) were significantly below the state averages. Hampton High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools, with a ranking between 206 and 276 out of 374-384 schools in the past few years, and a SchoolDigger rating ranging from 1 to 2 stars out of 5.

Nearby schools, such as Cloudland High School, Unaka High School, and Happy Valley High School, generally outperform Hampton High School in academic assessments and have higher school rankings. The high percentage of white students and low socioeconomic status of the student population at Hampton High School may be contributing factors to the school's lower academic performance, suggesting the need for a comprehensive review of the school's resources, teaching practices, and student support systems to identify and address the root causes of the performance gaps.

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.
