Summary:

The area’s list contains one school, Hope Academy Charter School, serving 309 students in grades K–8. In 2025–2026, its average results were below the state average in English language arts (ELA), math, and science: 33% versus 51% in ELA, 19% versus 40% in math, and 6% versus 23% in science. Math had the widest average gap, at 21 percentage points below the state, making it the clearest overall academic concern in the latest results.

There is no top- or bottom-performing school to compare because Hope is the only school listed. Within the school, the strongest latest grade results were 42.5% in grade 7 ELA and 42.9% in grade 3 math; both were still below their state comparisons of 56% and 49%. Science was notably weaker: grade 5 was 5% compared with 27% statewide, and grade 8 was 6% compared with 19%. Results also differed considerably by grade in math, from 10% in grade 7 to 42.9% in grade 3.

Year-to-year results show a mixed picture: the ELA average fell 8 percentage points, widening its gap with the state from 12 to 18 points, while math rose 7 points and narrowed its gap from 28 to 21 points. Science rose 2 points, and its gap narrowed from 21 to 18 points. Grade 8 ELA was a notable reversal, dropping 28 points from 65.2% in 2024–2025 to 37.6% in 2025–2026. SchoolDigger ranked Hope in the 17th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 13th percentile in 2024–2025. Context for families: in 2024–2025, 92% of students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, the student–teacher ratio was 11.6, and chronic absenteeism was 10%, compared with 14% statewide.
