Schools in Hope, RI

The city of Hope, Rhode Island is home to a single public elementary school, Hope School, which serves grades K-5 with a total enrollment of 174 students. While Hope School is a relatively average-performing school within the Scituate School District and the state of Rhode Island, it has some notable strengths and areas for improvement.

Hope School's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, is generally on par with or slightly above the Scituate School District average, but below the state average in some cases. The school's 3rd-grade proficiency rates in both ELA and Math are notably higher than the district and state averages, suggesting that the school may be doing a good job of preparing its younger students. However, the school's proficiency rates tend to decline as students progress through the grades, with 5th-grade proficiency rates being lower than 3rd-grade rates in both ELA and Math.

The school's student-teacher ratio of 10.2 to 1 is relatively low, which could indicate a focus on small class sizes and individualized attention. Additionally, the school's per-student spending of $18,762 is higher than the state average, but it's unclear how this funding is being utilized to support student learning and outcomes. The school's free/reduced lunch rate of 17.82% suggests a relatively low percentage of economically disadvantaged students, which may contribute to its academic performance.
