School Reviews
5 A secret jewel in Bridgeport. Small school where students are nourish not only with excellent academics but with tools for the day to day life. Teachers and aids go above and beyond to give the students all the tools to make learning a fun experience. Small class groups (no more than 12 students per class) give the kids almost a 1-1 teaching experience. - Posted by Parent - Gisela Moura |
5 School is great. Teachers really care and students rate excellent on standardized tests. Way above average. Parents involved with fund raisers and activities. After-school program well run. Best kept secret in Bpt. - Posted by Parent - Involved |
5 Two of my children graduated from Hope School. Great environment. They learned a lot and prepared them well for high school. Teachers are really invested. - Posted by Parent - Greg Breland |
