Summary
Hopkins Elementary School is a grades 4–5 school with 682 students in Hopkinton, MA, part of the Hopkinton district, which ranks 3rd of 351 Massachusetts districts. Hopkins itself placed 17th of 899 elementary schools statewide in 2025–2026 — the top 2% — earning a 5-star rating, a large improvement over its 145th-of-932 (84th percentile) showing in 2015–2016.
On 2025–2026 MCAS Next Generation tests, 68.95% of Hopkins students were proficient in English Language Arts, 79.45% in math, and 80.53% in science — roughly double the state averages in math and science. Compared with nearby tested grades 3–5 schools, Hopkins leads David Mindess by 20.2 points in ELA, 29.2 in math, and 31.0 in science; Miller School by 18.6, 29.1, and 22.8 points; and Woodland by 43.0, 48.8, and 42.7 points. Math and science are the standout subjects, with Grade 5 math at 82.99% and Grade 5 science at 80.53%. Keep in mind that several nearby schools serve only the earliest grades and have no MCAS results, so they cannot be compared this way.
ELA is still about 29 points above the state, but it has slipped from 75.99% in 2022–2023 and now sits slightly below the district average — the trend most worth watching. Effectiveness with student groups is generally very high: Hispanic students rank 2 of 475, female students 10 of 869, low-SES students 22 of 742, and male students 27 of 879, all 5-star results; Special Education and Multi-racial student rankings, though still above average at the 81st percentile, have eased over the past three years. Notably, Hopkins has the highest student-teacher ratio (14.7) among nearby listed schools and moderate spending of $14,966 per student, yet it outperforms several schools that spend more or have smaller classes.
