Summary:

Hope, Rhode Island, has one listed school: Hope School, an elementary school serving grades K–5 with 163 students. In 2025–26, its strongest result was mathematics, where 57% of students were proficient, compared with 31.9% statewide—a 25.1 percentage-point advantage.

Because Hope School is the only school in the area, it is both the top and bottom school by default; there is no meaningful local school-to-school comparison. Against the state, the school was also ahead in ELA, with 43.5% proficiency versus 33.1%, while its science result was closer: 33.3% versus 31.1%. The overall ELA result hides a grade-level exception: grade 5 was slightly below the state rate, at 30% versus 31.1%, even as grades 3 and 4 were ahead. The supplied figures do not provide other local schools for comparison.

Results rose in ELA from 39.1% in 2024–25 to 43.5% in 2025–26, and in math from 48.9% to 57%; science moved in the opposite direction, falling from 40% to 33.3%. SchoolDigger’s ranking also improved, from 81st of 166 schools (51st percentile) in 2023–24 to 40th of 163 (75th percentile) in 2025–26. Context figures for 2024–25 include a 10.1 student–teacher ratio, a 25.77% free/reduced-lunch rate, and $22,008 in spending per student; these describe the school but do not explain its results. For families weighing the available results, math is the clearest strength, while grade 5 ELA and the recent science decline stand out as areas to watch.
