Summary

Hope Valley Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-4 in the Chariho School District in Rhode Island, with 280 students and a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school consistently outperforms the Chariho district and the state of Rhode Island in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency rates, with 53.1% and 45.3% proficiency rates respectively in 2024-2025, compared to 47.1% and 38.4% for the state. However, the school's performance for low socioeconomic status (SES) students is slightly lower, ranking in the bottom third of Rhode Island elementary schools. The school has a relatively high per-student spending of $21,236 and a low student-teacher ratio of 18.6, which may contribute to its academic performance.

While Hope Valley Elementary School is a strong-performing school within the Chariho district, its ranking and star rating have fluctuated over the past several years, ranging from a high of 5 stars to a low of 3 stars. When compared to other nearby schools, such as Ashaway Elementary School and Richmond Elementary School, Hope Valley's performance is not as strong, suggesting that there are opportunities for continued improvement and growth, particularly in addressing the achievement gap for low-SES students.
