Summary

Hopewell Elementary School serves 457 students in grades PK through 5 in Cleveland, Tennessee, as part of Bradley County Schools. The school currently ranks 316th out of 1,019 Tennessee elementary schools — the 69th percentile with a 3-star rating — and it outperforms both its district and the state in all three tested subjects. In 2025–2026, proficiency rates were 47.6% in math, 53.9% in English language arts, and 51.5% in science, each above state averages.

Hopewell's biggest strengths are attendance and literacy. Chronic absenteeism is just 10.3%, the lowest among nearby schools and well below the state's 18.3% — a consistency that has kept academics stable for five straight years. ELA proficiency is 53.9% vs. 40.6% statewide. The school also earns 5 stars for its work with economically disadvantaged students, ranking at the 91st percentile statewide. Hopewell far outpaces most Cleveland City Schools options like Blythe-Bower Elementary School, Mayfield Elementary School, Arnold Memorial Elementary School, G.R. Stuart Elementary School, and D.P. Yates Primary School, often by 20+ points. Its closest rival is Candy's Creek Cherokee Elementary School, which posts higher math but trails Hopewell in science (43.3% vs. 51.5%).

A few areas are worth watching. Fourth-grade math (47.9%) dips below the state average (49.4%), while 3rd and 5th grade math remain above benchmarks. Special education support has been volatile — 3-star, 1-star, and 2-star results over three years. Within Bradley County Schools, Hopewell trails Michigan Avenue Elementary School and North Lee Elementary School in every subject despite spending more per student ($12,289 vs. $11,288 and $10,535). Even so, Hopewell remains dependable and above average, consistently outperforming its district and state in all tested subjects.
