HOPE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Hope Elem is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Rural Vista school district, located in Hope, KS with about 97 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 10 teachers, Hope Elem has a student/teacher ratio of about 9:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Hope Elementary, located at 200 Poplar St in Hope, Kansas, serves as a central hub for primary education within its local community. As part of the Southeast of Saline School District (USD 306), the school fosters a focused learning environment designed to support the academic and social development of its elementary-age students. The school emphasizes a close-knit educational experience, leveraging its small-town setting to build strong relationships between students, staff, and local families.

Reflecting the pride of the community, the school operates under the mascot of the "Lions," a theme prominently featured on their official website, [hopelions.com](http://www.hopelions.com). The institution is dedicated to preparing students for future success through a foundational curriculum that balances core academics with character building. By maintaining a supportive atmosphere, Hope Elementary remains committed to the growth and achievement of its student body within the Kansas public education system.
