Summary:
Zip code 55305 contains eight schools — three elementary, two middle, and three high, with none flagged as alternative — serving roughly 4,779 students. Seven are in the Hopkins Public School District and one, School #527, belongs to Intermediate School District 287. The area is dominated by one very large high school, Hopkins High School (2,003 students), alongside mid-size elementaries and middle schools and two tiny specialized high-school settings, School #527 (35 students) and Transition Plus (38). The Hopkins district overall ranks 240 of 458 statewide, at the 48th percentile with 2 stars.
The standout is Xinxing Academy, ranked 14 of 869 schools (98th percentile, 5 stars), with all-grade math proficiency of 85.4% against the state's 44.9%, reading 76.5% versus 48.6%, and science 61.5% versus 25.5%. It also has the lowest free/reduced lunch rate in the area at 10.08%. Among traditional schools, Hopkins High School is strongest at 179 of 473 (62nd percentile, 3 stars), posting an 88.0% graduation rate and 2.0% dropout rate, both better than district and state. At the middle level, Hopkins North Middle School (59th percentile, 3 stars) outperforms Hopkins West Middle School (41st percentile, 2 stars) in reading and science, with a lower free/reduced lunch rate as well.
Math is a shared weakness: every school except Xinxing is below the state's 44.9%, from Hopkins High at 40.5% down to West Middle at 29.6%. West Middle's science proficiency of 11.8% is the lowest among schools with available 2025-2026 scores. L.H. Tanglen Elementary (23rd percentile, 1 star) and Eisenhower Elementary (25th percentile, 1 star) fall below district and state in nearly every subject despite low student-teacher ratios of 11.5 and 12.5; Tanglen's 5th-grade math is 10.1% and Eisenhower's is 15.5%, both far under the state's 41.9%. Eisenhower's science did rise from 10.53% to 21.5%. Current scores for School #527 are suppressed and Transition Plus has no test or rank data; both are very small and likely serve specialized populations.
