George M. Hampton Middle

Summary:

George M. Hampton Middle is a public magnet middle school in Woodbridge, Virginia, serving grades 6-8 with a diverse student population. The school faces several challenges, including consistently low academic performance compared to other Virginia middle schools, significant achievement gaps among student subgroups, and a high percentage of students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds.

Despite these challenges, the school has some notable strengths. Its African American and Hispanic students perform better than their counterparts at the Prince William County Public Schools district and state levels, and the school has achieved 100% proficiency in Algebra I for 8th-grade students, significantly outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school's overall academic performance remains in the bottom half of Virginia middle schools, and it lags behind many of the nearby middle schools, such as Louise A. Benton Middle and Herbert J. Saunders Middle, which have significantly higher academic performance.

Despite the school's lower academic performance, it has a relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio compared to the nearby schools. This suggests that the school may need to examine how it is allocating its resources and explore ways to improve the effectiveness of its instructional practices to better support all students, especially those from disadvantaged backgrounds and underperforming subgroups.

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.
