Summary:
Hopkinton is a five-school Massachusetts district serving grades K–12 — three elementary schools, one middle school and one high school — enrolling 4,138 students in total. It is one of the strongest districts in the state, ranked 3rd of 351 districts at the 99th percentile with 5 stars. Students move through a clean progression: Marathon Elementary School (K–1), Elmwood (2–3), Hopkins Elementary School (4–5), Hopkinton Middle School (6–8) and Hopkinton High (9–12).
Hopkinton High is the flagship: 3rd of 353 high schools, a 96.9% graduation rate and 0.3% dropout rate. Its 10th-grade scores are roughly double the state's — ELA 87.01% vs. 45.48%, math 85.20% vs. 43.73%, science 85.67% vs. 40.50% — and it climbed from 15th the prior year. Hopkinton Middle School ranks 14th of 478 (97th percentile), with math 79.51%, ELA 71.68% and 8th-grade civics 77.96%. Hopkins Elementary School ranks 17th of 899 (98th percentile), with science a particular strength at 80.53% vs. 40.98% statewide. Elmwood beats state averages in every subject (ELA 68.21%, math 71.60%) but is the lowest-scoring tested Hopkinton school. Marathon Elementary School serves K–1, so it has no MCAS results.
Parents should note a few watch points. Both the middle school and Hopkins softened year over year — middle-school ELA fell 4.50 points and Hopkins ELA 2.88 points — and the middle school's rank moved from 6th–7th to 14th, though both remain in the 97th–98th percentile. Elmwood's math is 6.02 points below the district's all-grade figure, even as its ELA improved. Science is a district-wide strength at every level. Spending figures date to 2020–2021, and free/reduced-lunch data is not reported for any school, so neither can be used to compare schools here.
