Hope Elementary

Hope Elementary is the sole school in the Hope Elementary District, serving grades K-8 in Porterville, California. With a total enrollment of 229 students, the school appears to be a relatively strong performer, particularly in its academic test scores, which are generally above the state average.

Hope Elementary stands out for its consistent academic performance, with its English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates remaining stable over the past three school years. The school's 7th-grade students, in particular, have shown exceptional performance, scoring significantly higher than the state averages in both subjects. However, the school's science proficiency rates, as measured by the CAST, are below the state average, suggesting an area for improvement.

Despite serving a relatively high-need student population, with a majority of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Hope Elementary has maintained a student-teacher ratio of 20.8 and a chronic absenteeism rate of 11.6%, which is slightly higher than the state average. These metrics suggest that the school may benefit from additional resources and support to address the needs of its student population and improve attendance rates.
