Summary

Memorial is a K–6 elementary school in Hopedale, MA, serving 558 students as part of the Hopedale district. It ranked 304th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 66th percentile with 3 stars — above average, consistent with its recent years, but below its earlier high point of the 89th percentile and 4 stars in 2016–2017.

Academically, Memorial's 2025–2026 proficiency rates beat both its district and the state in all three tested subjects: 46.47% in ELA, 51.77% in math, and 59.46% in science, which is roughly 18.5 points above the state average. Science is the clearest strength and has climbed from 49.41% in 2022–2023. Math remains solid but has drifted down from 55.63% in 2023–2024, and ELA is the most uneven subject. Grade levels tell different stories: 3rd-grade ELA and math sit slightly below state averages, while 5th-grade math (62.50%), 5th-grade science (59.46%), and 6th-grade ELA and math (55.70% each) are far above them.

Compared with nearby schools, Memorial is mid-pack. It outpaces Woodland and generally Henry P Clough, but trails Taft Early Learning Center, Memorial School in Mendon-Upton, and the Hopkinton schools Hopkins Elementary School and Elmwood. Those buildings serve different grade spans, so comparisons are imperfect. Memorial's student-teacher ratio of 12.6 is smaller than most neighbors, and per-pupil spending of $15,916 is moderate. Results for special education students (68th percentile) and low-income students (59th percentile) have slipped from 4-star levels in prior years.
