Community system

In 2003, Hope High School was partitioned into three semi-independent "communities": Hope High School Arts Community, Hope High School Technology Community, and Hope Leadership Community—each with its own principal. Since June 2009, the Leadership Community no longer exists and as of June 2012, the Arts and Technology communities were merged into one school. [3] [4]

The triune system was developed in an attempt to remedy a history of exceptionally low test scores (2008 SAT combined score was 1047, over 900 points lower than Moses Brown School, a private school 2 blocks away) at Hope High School. Many regard Hope High - and the future success or failure of these reforms - as a "litmus test" for educational reform in Rhode Island. [5]

It serves grades 9-12 with a total of 949 students as of the 2020 academic year.
