Summary:
ZIP code 02921 has one middle school, Hope Highlands Middle School, serving grades 6–8 in the Cranston district. In 2025–26, the school’s all-grade proficiency was 39.9% in English language arts (ELA), 42.4% in math and 46.8% in science. Those results were above the district’s 30.9%, 28.7% and 25.4%, respectively, as well as the state’s 33.1%, 31.9% and 31.1%. The most important takeaway is that Hope Highlands outperformed both district and state benchmarks in all three reported subjects, with its largest advantage in science.
There is no second school in the ZIP code to rank above or below Hope Highlands, but results vary considerably across its grades. Eighth grade was the strongest: 52.3% were proficient in ELA, 19.2 percentage points above the state, and 54.1% in math, 23.9 points above. Seventh-grade math was the school’s weakest reported grade-subject result, at 33.3%, though it remained 5.4 points above the state; sixth-grade ELA was also a relative low, at 33.9%, or 2.5 points above the state. These differences mean the all-grade averages do not tell the whole story for families considering each grade.
Recent results rose in math and science but dipped in ELA: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, proficiency changed by +5.3 percentage points in math, +7.8 in science and −2.3 in ELA. SchoolDigger’s ranking improved to 20th of 68 schools, the 71st percentile and four stars, from 25th of 66 and the 62nd percentile the prior year; the earlier ELA decline shows that a better relative ranking does not mean every subject improved. The school has 366 students and a 13:1 student–teacher ratio; its 2024–25 free/reduced-lunch rate was 19.4%, offering context about the student population. Because only one school is listed for this ZIP code, these figures cannot establish how it compares with other local schools.
