Open Quote 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.

Open Quote 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

Open 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

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
