Better than 98% of Georgia middle schools

Summary

Hopewell Middle School in Alpharetta, GA, serves 1,265 students in grades 6-8 and is part of the Fulton County School District, ranking 13th out of 578 Georgia middle schools with a 5-star rating.

Hopewell stands out most dramatically in advanced math and science. Its Algebra I End of Course proficiency rate is 99.3%, compared to district and state averages of 60.6% and 48.1%, respectively. Similarly, 8th graders taking High School Physical Science achieved a 95.3% proficiency rate, far exceeding the state average of 60.9%. Across all grade levels, math proficiency runs about 20 points above the district and 30 points above the state. The school also posts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of 7.5%—less than half the district rate—and earns a 5-star rating for special education students, ranking in the 95th percentile statewide. Notably, Hopewell achieves these results while spending $15,284 per student, which is less than several nearby schools with lower rankings, such as Haynes Bridge Middle School ($20,699 per student, ranked 75th).

Hopewell's ranking has improved for four consecutive years, climbing from 54th to 13th, suggesting systemic and sustained gains. While Webb Bridge Middle School (ranked 2nd) outperforms Hopewell in most subjects, it also serves a more affluent population, making Hopewell's performance particularly impressive given its student demographics. Interestingly, nearby DeSana Middle School in the higher-ranked Forsyth County district ranks only 83rd, underscoring that school-level factors matter more than district reputation. One area to watch is 8th-grade science proficiency (54.8%), which, while above state averages, shows some year-to-year volatility. Overall, Hopewell's combination of exceptional Algebra I and Physical Science results signals strong high school readiness across STEM and humanities.

Hopewell Middle School is the worst! I am so glad this is my daughters last year at this racist, unsafe school! Please don’t enroll your children here. The principal is also racist & does nothing to stop the bullying, vandalism, racism & horrible teachers & guidance counselor. If you are a minority please run as far away from this school as you can.

Some of the teachers are ok...administration severely limits their effectiveness...not in touch with whats goings on....poor leadership...especially at the top
only reason this school gets high marks is because its in a wealthy area Close Quote

For the single year I sent my child to HMS, it was torture. The teachers were cold and robotic, showing no interest in teaching whatsoever. My child would often come home bored out of his mind due to the teachers giving them unreasonable amounts of homework and classwork. He complained about the cafeteria food daily, saying that it makes his stomach hurt. I advise any parent looking into this school to turn back and go to a better school like Northwestern Middle School. Close Quote
