Summary:
The city of Hope, Rhode Island is home to a single elementary school, the Hope School, which serves students from grades K-5. While the school has some notable strengths, particularly in 3rd grade academic performance, its overall performance is slightly below the district and state averages.
The Scituate district, which includes the Hope School, has seen the school's statewide ranking fluctuate in recent years, ranging from 54th out of 166 schools in 2024-2025 to 81st out of 166 in 2023-2024. Currently, the Hope School is ranked 24th out of 60 schools in its district. The school's 3rd grade proficiency rates in English Language Arts (51.9%) and Mathematics (55.6%) are significantly higher than the district and state averages, suggesting effective teaching and learning strategies in the early grades.
However, the school's overall academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in ELA (39.1%), Mathematics (48.9%), and Science (40%), is slightly below the district and state averages. The school's relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 17.82% and high spending per student of $18,762 indicate it serves a more affluent student population, which may contribute to its stronger academic performance in certain areas. The school's favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1 could also be a factor in its academic success.
