Summary

Hopkins Middle School serves 321 students in grades 6-8 within the Hopkins Public Schools district in Hopkins, MI, and has earned a 4-star rating while climbing from the 56th to the 75th percentile in statewide rankings over the past decade.

This school has developed a standout reputation in mathematics. In 7th grade, 42.5% of students are proficient in math—nearly 10 points above the state average and well ahead of nearby schools like Thornapple Kellogg Middle School (31.6%) and Plainwell Middle School (28.9%). The 8th-grade PSAT math results are even more striking, with 50.5% proficiency versus a 33.2% state average—a 17-point jump in just one year that surpasses Wayland Union Middle School (28.4%) and Otsego Middle School (30.5%). Social studies is another strength, with 61% of 8th graders proficient, up from 38.9% just two years ago. The school also excels with students from lower-income backgrounds—those qualifying for free/reduced lunch jumped from the 43rd to the 75th percentile statewide in two years—and serves a population where 34% qualify, a rate similar to Wayland Union Middle School (36%) yet with notably better outcomes.

One area of concern is chronic absenteeism, which sits at 23.5%—better than the state average (27.9%) but higher than Hamilton Middle School (10.9%) and Riley Street Middle School (12.6%). Still, the school achieves these results while spending $13,810 per student—less than Wayland Union Schools ($17,542) or Otsego Public Schools ($15,956)—and maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 16.9. While a gap remains versus affluent schools like Byron Center West Middle School (75.8% 7th-grade math proficiency), Hopkins' consistent upward trajectory in math, social studies, and support for all learners makes it a school worth watching closely.
