Summary:
Hopedale, Massachusetts is a small district with just two public schools serving roughly 1,014 students from kindergarten through 12th grade: Memorial, an elementary school with 558 students in grades K–6, and Hopedale Junior Senior High, with 456 students in grades 7–12. There are no middle schools or alternative schools in this dataset. The Hopedale district is ranked 122 of 351 in Massachusetts — the 65th percentile — with 3 stars, and both schools currently carry 3-star ratings.
Memorial is the stronger of the two on test proficiency. In 2025–2026 All Grades, it is above both the district and the state in every core subject: ELA at 46.47% vs the state's 40.03%, mathematics at 51.77% vs 41.11%, and science at 59.46% vs 40.98% — a striking +18.48 percentage points in science. Its brightest spots are 5th Grade Mathematics at 62.50% (vs 39.50% statewide) and 6th Grade ELA at 55.70%. Its only below-state results are 3rd Grade ELA at 42.50% vs 42.79% and 3rd Grade Mathematics at 40.74% vs 42.19%, and even there it stays above the district. Its rank history is stable, holding the 66th–69th percentile with 3 stars across three years.
Hopedale Junior Senior High posts a 96.8% graduation rate and a 3.2% dropout rate for 2024–2025, plus outstanding 10th Grade Mathematics at 63.93% (vs 43.73% statewide) and 10th Grade ELA at 59.68% (vs 45.48%), along with 8th Grade Science at 51.11% and Biology at 43.28%. Its weak spot is 10th Grade Science at 32.14%, which is 8.36 percentage points below the state. Its all-grade scores sit below the district in all three subjects, but that partly reflects the district average being lifted by Memorial. Its rank history is more volatile, from 4 stars in 2023–2024 down to 3 stars now. It has a lower student-teacher ratio (10.1 vs 12.6) and spends $16,267 per student vs $15,916 (2020–2021). Free/reduced lunch data is blank for both schools and should be treated as unknown, not zero.
