Summary:
The city of Mount Hope, Alabama is home to a single public elementary school, Mount Hope Elementary, which serves grades PK-6 with 122 students. While the school has some areas of strength, such as above-average English language arts performance, it faces challenges in math achievement and serves a population with high levels of economic disadvantage.
Academically, Mount Hope Elementary has mixed test scores compared to state and county averages. In 2023-2024, the school performed below average in math for grades 3-6 but outperformed in English language arts. The school's ranking has also declined from 263 out of 680 Alabama elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 368 out of 684 in 2023-2024, indicating a need to investigate the underlying causes of this performance drop.
Demographically, Mount Hope Elementary has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 89.34% of students identifying as White. Additionally, over 60% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a high level of economic disadvantage in the school's community. To address these challenges, the school may need to focus on improving math instruction, providing additional resources and support for economically disadvantaged students, and exploring ways to increase racial diversity and inclusion.
