Best Public Schools in Zip Code 02831

Summary:

The 02831 zip code is home to a single elementary school, Hope School, which serves grades K-5 with 174 students. Hope School is part of the Scituate school district, which is ranked 24 out of 60 districts in Rhode Island and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hope School's academic performance is mixed compared to the Scituate district and Rhode Island state averages. While the school's 3rd-grade math proficiency exceeds the district and state, its ELA proficiency across all grade levels and 4th/5th-grade math proficiency fall below. The school's science proficiency is also below the district average. However, Hope School has a relatively low free/reduced lunch rate of 17.82% and a student-teacher ratio of 10.2, indicating it serves a relatively affluent student population with sufficient resources.

The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 54th out of 166 elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 81st out of 166 in 2023-2024. This suggests its performance may be variable or inconsistent. Overall, Hope School appears to be providing a solid educational experience, but there may be opportunities to improve academic outcomes, particularly in ELA, and to better understand the factors driving the school's ranking changes over time.
