Summary

Hopewell Elementary School is a K–5 school in Trinity, NC, serving 679 students as part of the Randolph County School System. The school ranks in the 71st percentile statewide with a 4-star rating, making it one of the highest-performing elementary schools in its immediate area. This is especially noteworthy because Hopewell serves a very high-poverty population—about 99.6% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch—yet students score at or above state averages in most subjects, running 9 to 22 percentage points above district averages.

Math is Hopewell's standout subject, particularly in the upper grades: 80.2% of 4th graders and 78.8% of 5th graders were proficient on the latest state tests, versus about 61% and 63% statewide. Reading results are also above average, with 3rd-grade reading at 59.1% versus 55.6% statewide. The contrast with nearby schools is striking. At Trinity Elementary School, just minutes away, only 40.3% of 5th graders were proficient in math, and Trindale Elementary School posted 44.6% for the same measure. Among neighboring schools, only John R Lawrence Elementary School and Hasty Elementary come close to Hopewell's overall rating.

Hopewell also earns strong results for Hispanic students (94th percentile statewide in 2025–26) and low-income students (74th percentile). Chronic absenteeism is relatively low—16.4% versus 22.5% for the district and 24.2% statewide—and the school spends less per student ($8,788) than many nearby schools that post weaker results. One note of caution: Hopewell's ranking has dipped from the mid-80s to the 71st percentile in 2025–26, and results for white and gifted students softened this year, though these changes may reflect normal cohort variation. Overall, Hopewell stands out as a high-performing school serving a high-poverty community, with particular strength in mathematics.
