Better than 21% of Kentucky middle schools
Summary

Hopkinsville Middle School serves 741 students in grades 6–8 in Hopkinsville, Kentucky. For 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked it 257th of 326 statewide, at the 21st percentile, with one star. The clearest concern is eighth-grade reading and math: proficiency was 25% and 24%, respectively, compared with 40% and 39% statewide; both results have fallen since 2023–2024.

Across grades 6–8, Hopkinsville averaged 29% in math and 37% in reading, below the statewide averages of 40% and 48% and the Christian County district averages of 31% and 40%. But it is not consistently behind nearby schools. Writing is a relative strength: Hopkinsville scored 43%, matching the district, sitting 5 points below the state, and exceeding the nearby-school average of 37% by 6 points. In seventh grade, its math result matched Christian County Middle School at 30%, and its reading result was 4 points higher. By eighth grade, however, Hopkinsville trailed that school by 11 points in math and 10 in reading.

Results over time are mixed, with the sharpest recent declines in eighth grade: reading fell 10 points and math 11 points from 2023–2024 to 2025–2026, while the state results changed little. SchoolDigger’s overall percentile also dropped from 47 in 2020–2021 to 21 in 2025–2026. Its subgroup rankings differ notably: SchoolDigger placed the school at the 57th percentile for Hispanic students, but at the 0th percentile for special education students, compared with 21st overall; these rankings are measures of how well the school serves each group. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 16.6, and 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. That rate was close to Christian County Middle School’s 70% and higher than Todd County Middle School’s 55%; these figures provide context, not an explanation for score differences.
