Hopewell Elementary School

Summary:

Hopewell Elementary School is a public elementary school in Cleveland, Tennessee, serving 457 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Bradley County school district, which is ranked 56 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 3-star rating.

Hopewell Elementary consistently outperforms the Bradley County and Tennessee state averages in proficiency rates for Mathematics, English Language Arts, and Science. In 2023-2024, Hopewell's proficiency rates were 47.9% in Mathematics and 46.9% in English Language Arts, compared to 39.7% and 37.6% for the state, respectively. The school's performance for specific student groups, such as Low Socio-Economic Status (SES) students, is particularly strong, with Hopewell's Low SES students ranking 42nd out of 858 Tennessee elementary schools in Mathematics proficiency in 2021-2022.

While Hopewell Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of White students (89.5%) compared to the surrounding Cleveland district schools, the school consistently outperforms its nearby counterparts, such as Michigan Avenue Elementary and Prospect Elementary, in academic proficiency across all subject areas and grade levels. Hopewell's high per-student spending of $10,879 in 2020-2021 may contribute to its strong performance, but the school's racial homogeneity and potential areas for improvement, such as 5th-grade English Language Arts proficiency, warrant further investigation.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
