Hampton Elem School, Hampton IL - Test Scores & Data

Original Research by School Decision on Hampton Elem School

Hampton Elem School serves kindergarten through eighth grade in a small, predominantly white village on the eastern bank of the Mississippi River in Rock Island County. The school's enrollment is modest, ranging from about twenty to thirty-three students per grade, for a total population characteristic of a compact rural or bedroom-community district.

The school's academic results show uneven performance across grades and subjects. In math, third-graders and eighth-graders show stronger results, while fourth and sixth graders perform considerably lower. Eighth-grade math proficiency reaches the upper range, but this follows a significant dip in the fourth grade. English language arts follows a similar pattern: third-grade and eighth-grade students score substantially higher, with a pronounced weakness in grades six and seven. Fifth-grade English proficiency is notably solid. Science results are available only for grades five and eight; both show results slightly above the midpoint. Overall proficiency across tested subjects and grades places Hampton in the top quartile among the county's districts, though this reflects variability rather than uniformly strong performance.

The student population is predominantly white, with a smaller Hispanic population and very small numbers of Black and Asian students. Racial and ethnic diversity data is reported; free-or-reduced-price-lunch rates and special education and English-learner enrollment counts are not available in the provided data.

The district has adopted Capturing Kids' Hearts as a relational and social-emotional framework, designating Hampton Elem a National Showcase School. This signals an intentional, school-wide approach to student-teacher relationships and behavior management embedded in daily classroom culture. The district has also earned the state's Financial Recognition designation for sound fiscal management, a meaningful indicator of stability in a single-school district where enrollment changes can create budget pressure.

Hampton's village setting is compact and car-dependent, anchored by riverfront parks and the paved Mississippi River Trail. The area has experienced flat to slightly declining population in recent years. Housing values are moderate for the region, and mortgage affordability is accessible relative to national benchmarks. The school sits within the small village street grid rather than on a separated campus.

A parent may want to look into the grade-level performance swings further with the school to understand what accounts for the shifts between grades, and to discuss whether the school identifies students needing additional support in the lower-performing grades.

Graduation rate (ACGR) reflects the federally published Adjusted Cohort Graduation Rate for the most recent year available. We refresh this data annually at the close of each academic year in June. The federal source publishes a banded rate (for example, "90-94%") instead of an exact number for cohorts small enough to risk identifying individual students. The state distribution chart, where shown, plots every school in the state with a published rate or band; schools whose rate is federally suppressed are excluded. Where the federal source publishes a band rather than an exact rate, the school is placed within its band using a stable, ID-derived offset, so its position is consistent across visits.
