Summary:

Hopkins, Minnesota is home to five schools in this data set — three elementary schools and two high schools — serving about 1,565 students across grades PK through 12. Three of them (Eisenhower Elementary, Alice Smith Elementary, and Xinxing Academy) belong to Hopkins Public School District, which is ranked 240th of 458 districts in the file, in the 48th percentile with 2 stars. Ubah Academy is listed as its own district, and School #527 belongs to Intermediate School District 287. Eisenhower, Xinxing, and School #527 are all listed at the same Highway 7 address, though their types, sizes, and outcomes differ greatly.

Xinxing Academy is the clear academic standout, ranked 14th of 869 schools statewide in 2025–2026 (98th percentile, 5 stars). Its proficiency is 85.4% in Math, 76.5% in Reading, and 61.5% in Science, far above the state's 44.9%, 48.6%, and 25.5%. By contrast, Eisenhower Elementary and Alice Smith Elementary score below both their district and the state in every subject, with Eisenhower slightly ahead of Alice Smith and slowly improving its statewide rank. At both, Math proficiency falls from roughly 40–44% in 3rd grade to about 15–16% by 5th grade.

Ubah Academy shows a striking contrast: very low proficiency (1.7% Math, 22.7% Reading, 2.2% Science) and a declining rank, yet a 96.8% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate, both better than the state's 84.9% and 4.2%. School #527 is tiny, with 35 students and the lowest student/teacher ratio here at 7.6; its 2025–2026 Math, Reading, and Science scores are suppressed (—), so its current performance is unknown rather than weak.
