Summary

Hopkinsville High School serves 961 students in grades 9–12 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. In the 2025–2026 KSA results, students were strongest in writing and social studies, close to the state in reading and science, and below it in math. The school’s most important distinction is that it scored higher than both nearby regular high schools, Christian County High School and Trigg County High School, in all six reported subjects.

Writing and social studies stand out against the state and district: Hopkinsville scored 59% in writing, compared with 47% statewide and 48% in the Christian County district; in social studies, it scored 46%, versus 37% statewide and 34% districtwide. Math is the clearest gap: 32% were proficient, 8 points below the state’s 40%, though 5 points above the district’s 27%. Reading was 1 point below the state, and science was also 1 point below. Hopkinsville’s nearby-school leads were especially large in social studies—16 points over Christian County High and 20 over Trigg County High—and writing, where it led by 10 and 16 points, respectively. Its graduation rate was 95%, above the 94% state and district rates but below both nearby high schools. Chronic absenteeism was 29%, higher than the state, district, and both nearby schools.

Results have improved over time in some subjects: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, social studies rose 16 points and reading rose 9; math gained 8 points but remains below the state. SchoolDigger ranked Hopkinsville 100th of 262 schools, at the 62nd percentile with 3 stars in 2025–2026, up 18 percentile points from the prior year. Chronic absenteeism fell 7 points from 2022–2023, but remains a concern. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 17.7 and 63% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s measure of how well schools serve student groups placed Special Education Students at the 81st percentile, up 53 points over two years; Multi-racial Students were at the 98th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 62nd percentile.

Open Quote this school has leaks in the ceilings, mold, asbestos, exposed ceilings and pipes, and high chances you will get sick is it worth your child coming here? probably, if you want the school to pay your hospital bill. and some people at the school think that we're spreading lies about the conditions in the school even though there is video and photo evidence that this school is in desperate need of a remodel or at least some fixing up, which would probably be finished after i graduate, knowing them. oh, and theres lots of sex happening here so fairly high percent chance of pregnancy, so be prepared for your grandkids early.
