Summary:
ZIP code 94539 has one listed middle school, William Hopkins Middle, serving grades 6–8 in Fremont Unified and enrolling 1,424 students. Its clearest strength is that 2025–2026 proficiency rates were well above California’s in all three main subjects: 85% in English language arts (ELA), 84% in math, and 77% in science, compared with 49%, 38%, and 36% statewide. The largest state-relative advantage was in math, at 46 percentage points.
Hopkins is the only school in this list, so there is no local top-to-bottom comparison. Against the district, it was ahead by 13 points in ELA, 16 in math, and 15 in science in 2025–2026. Its strong results span subjects and grades: for example, its ELA advantage over the state was 31–37 points across grades 6–8, while its math advantage was 44–49 points. ELA was its highest school score, but math showed the greatest advantage because the statewide math rate was lower.
Results remained strong, though the school’s lead over the state narrowed slightly: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Hopkins’ ELA rate fell by 2 points and math by 1, while science rose by 1; the gaps with California narrowed by about 2 points in each subject. SchoolDigger ranked Hopkins 10th statewide in 2023–2024, 23rd in 2024–2025, and 36th in 2025–2026, while its percentile moved from 100 to 99 and stayed there. One exception to the strong state comparisons was CSA Spanish: its overall rate was 9% in 2025–2026, 1 point below the state, after being 1 point above the state the prior year. Context measures include a 24.3 student-teacher ratio and 18% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; chronic absenteeism was 4%, versus 11% in the district and 18% statewide.
