Summary

Hope School serves 163 students in kindergarten through grade 5 in Hope, within the Scituate community. Its clearest strength is math: 57% of students were proficient, compared with 42% in the district and 32% statewide, placing the school second among 11 nearby schools; only Washington Oak School scored higher, at 59%.

The school’s results are strong in math and comparatively weaker in science. Its all-grades ELA proficiency rate was 44%, fourth among nearby schools and above their average of 35%. In science, 33% were proficient—below the district’s 35% and the nearby-school average of 45%, though above the state’s 31%; the school ranked seventh of eight nearby schools with reported scores. Fifth-grade ELA is a particular concern: 30% were proficient, below the district’s 32% and the state’s 31%, and tied for the lowest result among eight nearby schools serving that grade.

ELA and math have improved since 2022–23: ELA rose from 35% to 44%, and math from 40% to 57%. Science edged up from 32% to 33%, but fell from 40% in each of the two previous years. In 2025–26, SchoolDigger ranked the school 40th of 163 statewide, at the 75th percentile with four stars; it placed third among the 11 nearby schools. The student–teacher ratio was 10.1, the lowest among nearby schools with reported figures, whose average was 13.7. The free/reduced-lunch rate was 26%, compared with a nearby-school average of 44%; the school’s rate had risen from 13% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s effectiveness percentile for female students rose sharply, from 59 in 2024–25 to 86 in 2025–26, a 27-point increase in that measure of how well the school serves this group.
