New Hopewell Elementary is a public elementary school in Knoxville, Tennessee, serving 257 students in grades K-5 and part of the Knox County school district.

New Hopewell consistently outperforms the Knox County and Tennessee state averages in mathematics, English language arts, and science proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 47.2% of New Hopewell students were proficient or better in mathematics, compared to 43.2% in Knox County and 42.2% statewide.
