Summary

Good Hope Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 3-5 in Cullman, Alabama, part of the Cullman County school district. With 368 students, the school has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years, with a slight dip to 2 stars in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023 before returning to 3 stars in the most recent school year.

Good Hope Elementary consistently outperforms the Cullman County and Alabama state averages in English/Language Arts proficiency across grades 3-5, but its Mathematics performance is more mixed, lagging behind the county average in 5th grade. The school also excels in science proficiency for 4th graders, ranking above the county and state averages. However, Good Hope Elementary faces challenges, including a rising chronic absenteeism rate and a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, which may contribute to its relatively lower performance in certain academic areas.

Compared to nearby schools, Good Hope Elementary's performance is generally on par with or slightly below the other elementary schools in the Cullman County district, such as Harmony School, Vinemont Elementary, and West Point Intermediate. The school lags behind the high-performing West Elementary and East Elementary, which are part of the Cullman City district and consistently rank among the top schools in the state.
