Summary:
The Hopkins Public School District in Minnesota is home to 9 elementary schools serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The schools in this district vary significantly in size, with student populations ranging from 39 to 777. While some schools, like Xinxing Academy and Glen Lake Elementary, consistently rank among the top elementary schools in the state, others, such as Alice Smith Elementary and Eisenhower Elementary, have struggled to meet state proficiency standards.
Xinxing Academy stands out as an exceptional performer, with students demonstrating proficiency rates in math and reading that far exceed the district and state averages. Glen Lake Elementary also performs very well, ranking in the top 25% of Minnesota elementary schools. Meanwhile, Meadowbrook Elementary consistently ranks in the top 35-40% of the state, despite not being the highest-performing school in the district.
The data also reveals significant socioeconomic diversity within the district, with the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch ranging from 13.18% at Xinxing Academy to 57.64% at Gatewood Elementary. This disparity may contribute to the performance gaps observed between the higher-performing and lower-performing schools. Additionally, the presence of the Harley Hopkins Family Center, which serves pre-kindergarten students, suggests the district's recognition of the importance of early childhood education.
