Academically, the three schools consistently perform below the Hopewell City Public Schools district average and the Virginia state average on standardized tests. However, Harry E.

The district as a whole is ranked 127 out of 130 in Virginia and is rated 0 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, indicating significant academic challenges that need to be addressed.

Regarding school resources, Harry E. James Elementary has the highest per-student spending at $10,819, while Dupont Elementary has the lowest at $8,402. The student-teacher ratios are relatively low, ranging from 11.4 at Harry E. James Elementary to 14.6 at Patrick Copeland Elementary. These disparities in resource allocation may contribute to the observed differences in academic performance between the schools, suggesting potential equity issues within the district.
