Summary

Hopedale Junior Senior High in Hopedale, MA, is a 7–12 school with 456 students — the only school in its comparison group that includes seventh grade and the smallest of the local middle/high schools — and it is the sole secondary school in the Hopedale district. It ranks 118th of 353 (67th percentile) with a 96.8% graduation rate, 3.2% dropout rate, 10.1:1 student–teacher ratio, and $16,267 per-student spending. After reaching the top decile in 2017–18, it slid to 56th percentile in 2024–25 before rebounding to 67th in 2025–26.

In 2025–26, Hopedale sits mid-table locally: behind Hopkinton High (99th percentile), Medway High (83rd), Nipmuc Regional High (74th), and Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical (72nd), and ahead of Blackstone Valley (64th), Uxbridge High (60th), Bellingham High School (49th), Northbridge High (40th), and Milford High (28th). Its 10th-grade results are much stronger than its all-grades summary suggests: ELA is 59.68% (state 45.48%) and math is 63.93% (state 43.73%), the second-best 10th-grade math result in the set behind only Hopkinton. Eighth-grade science is 51.11% versus a 38.93% state average, best among the four local schools reporting it. But 10th-grade science is 32.14% versus 40.5% state, second-lowest in the set, and upper-level science is the clearest concern: physics has not been reported in two years, and Biology end-of-course results fell from 61.70% (2022–23) to 43.28% (2025–26).

Low-income students rank at the 76th percentile (4 stars), above the school’s own 67th-percentile overall rank, while special education students have drifted from 81st to 61st. With only 456 students, one cohort can swing rankings sharply, so one-year subgroup jumps should be read cautiously. Hopedale has the smallest classes in the field (10.1:1) and spends less than six of nine neighbors; Hopkinton High, at 99th percentile, spends less ($15,978) and runs classes 41% larger. The Hopedale district ranks 122nd of 351, and district all-grades scores exceed the school’s own, suggesting the elementary grades outperform the secondary program. For contrast, Milford High is 1.36 miles away and ranked 28th, with an 80.0% graduation rate, 15.1% dropout rate, and 10th-grade math at 27.44%—roughly 36 points below Hopedale’s. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are not reported, and per-pupil spending is only available through 2020–21.

Open Quote I am a well-educated Engineer and have had 3 children who graduate from Hopedale. I find the training in education and life to be refreshing and exceptional. Students have focused training, with computer logic as a basis. I currently have 3 grandchildren in the system. When I compare their status to students from other schools, it seems like our students are advanced and better acclimated than those from other schools.

A neighbor's recently child exercised school choice, and went to Nipmuc Regional for a while. But he soon returned as he was bored and felt unchallenged at Nipmuc.

One issue, which may bring down Hopedale's rating, is the diversity of the town. We go from blue collar to very affluent white collar, corporate executives. I personally prefer this diversity for children, grandchildren and myself as it exposes everyone to people from all walks of life. We are all better for it. Close Quote
