Hope Elementary Charter School follows Wake County Public Schools inclement weather decisions.  Tune in to your local TV and radio stations for updates.

Thank you for visiting our school website. Hopefully, as you read this, you will be impressed and surprised with the exciting activities and events that occur here on a regular basis.

Our final scores from last year are now available.  56.1% of our students passed their End of Grade test in Reading.  78% of our students passed their End of Grade test in Math.  This is a very significant growth from the previous year where only 32.6% passed the Reading test and 50% passed the Math test.  We are very proud of our students and our staff for having worked so hard.  These new scores mean that we are now well on our way to becoming one of the best Charter Schools in North Carolina.

We are a K-5 elementary school with one class for each grade level. Class size is capped at 20. Teachers in kindergarten and grade one have a full time teacher assistant. Teachers in grades 2-5 have a teaching assistant for part of the school day.

The small size of the school and the small class sizes allow us to operate like a family. The staff works very diligently to provide our students with a solid well rounded program aligned with the North Carolina Standard Course of Study and includes daily lessons focusing on self esteem, behavior management and getting along successfully with others.

All students experience 90 minutes of language arts and 90 minutes of math every morning five days a week. We are working, in earnest, to assure that all our students have the basic skills in all academic areas while fostering and promoting the love of reading and discovery.

We have a well-equipped computer lab that supports learning on all grade levels. Our full time computer instructor provides technology enrichment opportunities for all students as well as professional development for staff. Computers are up and running in all classrooms as we move into using technology as an instructional tool.

Students are engaged in music and art weekly, along with daily physical fitness activities. Students in grades 2-5 also have Spanish to enrich their day. A full instructional support staff including Title I services in math and reading and a special education resource teacher help those most in need.

We are very proud of our school and the progress we are making. We know we are providing our students with a safe and healthy place in which to learn and grow and experience success. Hope Elementary Charter School is a great place to be and is becoming a greater place each day.

Come and join us on our adventure. Call us for more information or make an appointment for a tour or sign up to be a volunteer.

Sincerely,
Richard M. Rubin – Principal
