Summary:
Hopkinton, Massachusetts is home to five public schools serving 4,138 students in one continuous K–12 pipeline — Marathon Elementary School for grades K–1, Elmwood for grades 2–3, Hopkins Elementary School for grades 4–5, Hopkinton Middle School for grades 6–8, and Hopkinton High for grades 9–12. The Hopkinton district is ranked #3 of 351 Massachusetts districts, at the 99th percentile with 5 stars, so families here are choosing among schools that all sit inside a top-1% district.
The standouts are clear. Hopkinton High ranks #3 of 353 high schools in the state, with a 96.9% graduation rate against a 95.8% district rate and a 0.3% dropout rate; its 2025–2026 proficiency rates are roughly double the state averages in ELA (87.01% vs. 45.48%), math (85.20% vs. 43.73%), science (85.67% vs. 40.50%), and Biology End-of-Course (84.72% vs. 37.68%). Hopkins Elementary ranks #17 of 899 elementary schools, with science at 80.53% — the strongest elementary science result in the district — and math at 79.45%. Hopkinton Middle ranks #14 of 478 middle schools, where math rises by grade from 77.34% in grade 6 to 81.79% in grade 8 and civics reaches 77.96%; science is its relative weak spot at 73.16%, below the district's 76.55% but far above the state's 40.98%.
Elmwood is the relative lag within this high-performing district, trailing district averages in both ELA and math in both available years, with math about 6 points below district each year — though still roughly 30 points above state. Marathon Elementary has no test scores or rank history, expected for grades K–1, but posts the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.4, compared with 14.1–14.7 elsewhere. Per-student spending (2020–2021) is fairly uniform, ranging from $14,633 to $15,978, with the high school spending the most and Elmwood the least. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are blank for all five schools, so that measure is unknown/not reported rather than 0%.
