Summary

Hopkins Academy is a small public school in Hadley, Massachusetts, serving grades 7–12 with 203 students as part of the Hadley district. Only Smith Academy (109 students) is smaller among nearby schools; most others enroll roughly 290 to 875 students. In 2025–2026, Hopkins Academy ranked 151st of 353 Massachusetts schools (57th percentile, 3 stars), down from the 79th percentile in 2023–2024 but still above the state median.

Graduation and dropout are steady: 92.9% and 2.4% in 2024–2025, with graduation between 92.9% and 97.3% over five reported years. Test results are more uneven, and grade-level detail matters more than overall figures. In 2025–2026 Hopkins trailed the state in All Grades ELA (35.21% vs 40.03%), math (28.36% vs 41.11%), and science (31.25% vs 40.98%). But 10th grade ELA (57.14%) and math (55%) were well above state, while 10th grade science was just 15%, far below the state's 40.5% and below every nearby school reporting data. Eighth grade was below state in ELA, math, science, and civics; 7th grade ELA was a bright spot at 48.72%.

Compared with nearby schools, Hopkins is mid-pack. Its student-teacher ratio of 7.3 is far lower than Northampton High (14.6), Amherst Regional High (11.3), or Granby Junior Senior High School (11), and its $17,115 per-student spending is mid-range. Graduation and dropout also land in the middle: Hampshire Regional High reports 97.9% graduation and 1.0% dropout, while Smith Academy reports 90.0% and 10.0%. Hopkins generally trails Frontier Regional, Amherst Regional High, and Northampton High in math and science, yet beats Pioneer Valley Performing Arts Charter Public School, Granby Junior Senior High School, and Smith Vocational and Agricultural High in many ELA and math measures. Subgroup results have shown real strength — 88th percentile for low-income students in 2023–2024 — but that effectiveness has been uneven year to year.

It is terrible
the foods is fake
building is unsanitary
principle needs to prioritize better, stop worrying about certain kids and should start caring about everyone
I thought it was hysterical when I got a office detention for telling a bully to stop bullying my friends little sister and she got nothing
I also thought it was funny when a kid was doing inappropriate actions which are illegal and got nothing for it
kids disrespect other students as well as teachers and don't care
we have an on campus officer which only benefits the principle
most teachers are nice and understanding while some are not
I'm always stuck with the most obnoxious kids in class and I cant get anything done because they are constantly talking Close Quote

Hopkins is what a school should be..a place for learning and personal growth.
The town's great support of Hopkins and the pride of the students and teachers is clearly shown in standardized tests. GO HAWKS! Close Quote
