Summary:
Hopkins Public Schools is home to a single middle school, Hopkins Middle School, which serves grades 6-8 with 321 students in the Hopkins, Michigan area. The district itself ranks in the 84th percentile statewide, and the school has shown consistent year-over-year improvement, climbing from the 70th to the 75th percentile in state rankings over the past few years.
For parents, the standout story here is the school’s exceptional strength in STEM and social studies. In the 2025-2026 school year, 8th graders outperformed state averages by 9.4 points in science, 10.7 points in social studies, and a remarkable 17.3 points in PSAT math (50.5% vs. 33.2% statewide). The 8th-grade PSAT ELA results are equally strong, with 79% proficiency compared to 64.8% statewide. Math scores in 6th and 7th grades also exceed state averages by 3.8 and 9.2 points, respectively. The school’s relative weakness is English Language Arts in the earlier grades, where 7th graders trail the state by 7.3 points, though 6th-grade ELA did improve by 4.2 points year-over-year.
One area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 23.5%—nearly double the district average of 13.6%, though still below the state’s 27.9%. With a student-teacher ratio of 16.9:1 and per-student spending of $13,810, the school appears to allocate resources effectively, achieving above-average results in most subjects. The strong 8th-grade PSAT scores suggest students are well-prepared for high school, and the school’s upward ranking trajectory indicates that instructional strategies are yielding positive results. Overall, Hopkins Middle School offers a solid academic foundation, with particular excellence in math and science, though attendance and early-grade ELA remain areas for targeted attention.
