Summary:
The Hope Academy is the only school in this list, serving grades K–8 in Rhode Island and enrolling 320 students. Its 2025–26 results are below the state’s overall proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science, but science is closest to the state. The clearest schoolwide concern is math: 16.4% of students were proficient, 15.5 percentage points below Rhode Island’s 31.9%.
Results vary sharply by grade, so the schoolwide averages do not tell the whole story. Eighth grade stands out positively: ELA proficiency was 52.9%, 19.8 points above the state, and science was 37.1%, 7.7 points above. At the other end, fourth-grade ELA was 5.7%, 26.7 points below the state, while fourth-grade math was under 5%, more than 30.1 points below. Third-grade math was also a concern at 13.9%, compared with 37.1% statewide. These differences make the grade most relevant to a family an important part of understanding the school’s results.
Overall scores improved from 2024–25 to 2025–26, especially in science: ELA rose 2.6 percentage points to 21.3%, math rose 1.5 points to 16.4%, and science rose 13.9 points to 28.6%. SchoolDigger also rated the school 1 star and ranked it 134th of 163 schools, in the 18th percentile, for 2025–26—an improvement from 154th of 166 and the 7th percentile the prior year. The school’s student–teacher ratio is 11.4, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 80.62% in 2024–25; these figures describe the school’s context, not the cause of its results. The available data do not show whether the school’s scores improved relative to the state over time, and grade-level student counts are not provided.
