Hope School PTA is truly amazing and provides incredible after school classes like fencing, marine biology, chess, foeign languages, dance, cooking, art and theater. This program is inexpensive and rounds out a child's basic education. Hope School teachers are truly a cut above. We are very happy with this school and so is our son!

This school has excellent teachers and a solid curriculum that prepares students for junior high. The three years of 'roller coaster ride' have been resolved as the school moves forward into a 'basic aid' status, which will insure a bright future for the schools in the Hope district. My two kids (K and grade 3) have loved their time here, and I'm happy to be at a school with such great parent participation.

Hope School and the district were once great schools to attend and the families continue to be however they have spent 3 years on a roller coaster ride that has had a negative effect on kids, parents and teachers. I would think twice before sending my child here. They need to get their act together.

I did think the school was good for grades K-3, but I have doubts going forward. There is not enough drama, and conflict resolution is really infantile. Parents do get involved, but the teachers don't necessarily let you know everything that is going on, especially when it concerns your child. There's also a cliquishness to the parents - fit in, and your kid is accepted. The new principal seems to be more efficient, but she sometimes jumps to conclusions. We'll be looking elsewhere next year.
