Summary

Frances G. Hopkins Elementary School at Horne Street is a public K–4 school in Dover, New Hampshire, serving 412 students in the Dover School District and offering a mid-sized elementary-school setting in the Seacoast area. The school currently ranks 110th of 230 New Hampshire elementary schools, placing it near the statewide midpoint. Its overall results are uneven: mathematics is a relative strength, while reading is the clearest area for improvement.

In 2025–2026, 54% of Hopkins students were proficient in math, compared with 45% across the district and 44% statewide. Grade 3 math was especially strong at 61%, although Grade 4 math fell to 47%, below the state average. Reading proficiency was 52%, below the district’s 59% and the state’s 55%. Grade 4 reading was somewhat stronger at 55%, while Grade 3 reading was 50%. These results followed a notable recent decline: the school’s statewide rank dropped from 62nd in 2024–2025 to 110th this year. Families may want to watch whether this is a one-year fluctuation or a continuing trend.

Among nearby schools, Garrison School ranks higher and has a substantial reading advantage—63% proficient compared with Hopkins’ 52%—while the schools are nearly tied in overall math. Hopkins is considerably stronger than nearby Woodman Park School, leading by 18 percentage points in math and 14 in reading. Results are similar to Barrington Elementary School. By contrast, Moharimet School is a much higher-performing regional benchmark, with more than 80% proficiency in both subjects. Overall, Hopkins appears to be a solid but inconsistent school, with its most important priorities being reading improvement, stronger Grade 4 math, and stabilizing recent performance.
