Hampton High School

I graduated at Hampton High School in 1988. This is the worst school in the county. I moved out of state with my family and will never come back to that geopolitical system they have at that school. GOOD OLE BOYS CLUB! Get your children out of this school if at all possible!

I agree that Hampton High School is one of the worst schools in the county and nearby counties. They do not adequately prepare the students for college academically, and so many do not go on to college.

HHS is one of the worst schools in the county. My child was not prepared for college, and there is not guidance counselor available for students. The administration seems to be only interested in football, football, football!.

The school itself is very clean and nice. Most of the teachers are very good at what they do and try to teach the students in a way that will help them in life. The board of education is a little unorganized and it effects the school overall rating.

I graduated from Hampton in 2008. Overall, Hampton is not a bad school the adminastration is very unorganized though. There are a few teachers that have favorites and because of this the top ten percent is always screwed up because kids who cheated all four years there end up knocking kids out of it who actually tried hard. I myself will say it was my own fault I was not in top ten percent but I was knocked out of National Honor Society because of this reason. The band as well as other clubs are overlooked for football. The band went to the state band contest and did very well in 2006. They were not noticed for it. The FBLA went to the regional FBLA contest and did not recieve an award below second place..they did not recieve reconiqtion for it.

I am a parent of a sophmore at Hampton High School, and I want to say that I am pleased with how this school is ran. The teachers are all wonderful teachers and are willing to go the extra mile to see that their students turn out to be welcomed into a college of their choice. My son plays football for the highschool and I am pleased to say that the coaching staff cares about things other than their team. I would not even think about sending him elseware. Hampton is remember a Blue Ribbon School.

Hello, as a former student at Hampton High School, I can say, this is a very great school. As far as I am aware of, drugs are not a problem, at least, I have never had a problem with them...... I don't think. If you move to Tennessee, definatly send your child to Hampton High School, and make J.C. proud.

I am a former student at Hampton and from my experience there it was wonderful. If I would not have transferred to Hampton I have no clue where I would be today, I went from a school that all they worried about was the appearance to a school that really inner acts with the students. I feel like I had more help from the teachers, it seems they give more effort to really help the students. I can only say that this school encouraged me to go forward in my education.

As a former student of Hampton High, I can certainly say that the education I received there was second to none. We didn't receive all the frills that are available at a larger school but our basic education was well above average. I graduated from ETSU cum laude and part of that credit goes to Hampton High.

I am a parent of two children that has attended Hampton High one that has graduate and one that is a senior I have done my research on other schools I feel Hampton is one of the best school around I attended a large school and I can say that a smaller may not have as much as bigger but what the kids get is worth alot more they get more one on one both of my children have got a wonderful education at Hampton My son is a sophomore at E.T.S.U and is on the dean list my daughter is 13th in her class with GPA of 3.5 the teacher are wonderful and I could not have pick a better high school for my kids.
