Best Public Schools in Hope, RI


Summary:

The city of Hope, Rhode Island has only one elementary school, Hope School, which serves grades K-5 and has a total enrollment of 186 students. While the school is rated 3 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, its academic performance has declined slightly over the past three school years and lags behind the Scituate School District and the state of Rhode Island in several key areas, particularly in 4th and 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency.

Hope School's proficiency rates on the RICAS assessments are generally lower than the district and state averages, with an ELA proficiency rate of 29.3% and a Mathematics proficiency rate of 35.9% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the Scituate district averages of 41.6% and 43%, respectively, and the Rhode Island state averages of 37.8% and 39.1%. The school's Science proficiency rate on the NGSA assessment was also lower than the district average.

While Hope School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 10.9 and higher per-student spending of $28,119 compared to the state average, these resources do not appear to be translating into significantly better academic outcomes. The school's demographic and socioeconomic factors, such as the low percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, may be contributing to its performance, but further investigation would be needed to understand the underlying factors and identify opportunities for improvement.
