Summary

Mt Hope Elementary School is a small K–8 school serving 98 students in the rural Holmes County community of Mount Hope, Ohio, part of the East Holmes Local district. It holds a 3-star rating and ranks 476th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (69th percentile) — above the state average, but the lowest of the six East Holmes schools in this comparison. Only 10.2% of its students are economically disadvantaged, the lowest share of any school reviewed here, and its classes are the smallest in the group at 13.0 students per teacher, a ratio that has stayed steady for three years.

Upper-grade math is the standout. In 2025–2026, 100% of 8th graders and 88.9% of 7th graders scored proficient in math — 48 and 40 points above the state — and 8th grade math has reached 100% in three of the last four tested years. Eighth grade science (87%, about 26 points above state) and 7th grade English (83.3%) are also strong. English Language Learners rank in the top 7% of Ohio schools (93rd percentile, 5 stars), well above the school's overall standing. Chronic absenteeism is 6.4%, far below the district's 10.5% and roughly a quarter of Fairless Elementary School's 15.4%.

The clear soft spot is 4th grade, where 66.7% of students were proficient in both math and reading — below the district in both, and behind Walnut Creek Elementary School, Flat Ridge Elementary School, Winesburg Elementary School and Berlin Elementary School in 4th grade math. Mt Hope ranks last among its East Holmes peers, though all six still outperform nearby non-district schools. Results swing widely year to year, which is typical of very small cohorts: the school jumped 251 spots in the latest rankings, and some grades aren't published at all. Treat single-year numbers, including perfect scores, as signals rather than settled facts.
