While academics are strong, there are some areas to note. The school's chronic absenteeism rate is 23.5%, which is nearly double the district average of 13.6% and a concern despite the school's low economic disadvantage rate of 34.27%. The student-teacher ratio is 16.9:1, and per-student spending is $13,810. In 8th grade, there is a notable gap between subjects: students excel in ELA and Social Studies but show relatively weaker performance in Math (50.5% proficient), though this still exceeds the state average. Since Hopkins Middle School is the only middle school in the district, its data directly reflects the district's middle-level outcomes. Overall, this is a school on the rise, delivering consistent above-average results with room to grow in addressing attendance challenges.
