Summary

Hopkinton Middle School in Contoocook, New Hampshire, is a small public school serving 165 students in grades 7–8 within the Hopkinton School District. The school ranks 23rd among 138 New Hampshire middle schools and has a 4-star rating. Its small enrollment and 10.5:1 student-teacher ratio may support a more personal school experience, although smaller classes can also make year-to-year results fluctuate more noticeably.

Academically, Hopkinton is strongest in reading and mathematics. Overall proficiency is 75% in reading and 64% in math, compared with 55% and 44% statewide. Reading is a particular strength: 80% of seventh graders and 70% of eighth graders are proficient, higher than results reported for nearby schools such as Bow Memorial School, Kearsarge Regional Middle School, and Rundlett Middle School. Seventh-grade math is especially strong at 75%, but eighth-grade math falls to 53%, suggesting an area worth monitoring. Science is the main academic weakness: proficiency is 40%, close to the state average and below the district’s 51%.

Compared with its closest high-performing peer, Bow Memorial School, Hopkinton has stronger math and reading results, while Bow is slightly ahead in science. Hopkinton also substantially outperforms Kearsarge Regional Middle School, Three Rivers School, and Rundlett Middle School in math and reading. The school’s results for students receiving special education services have ranked especially well statewide, while subgroup results for male students are less strong than those for female students. Families should view the school as a consistently high-performing option, with science consistency and eighth-grade math as the clearest areas for continued improvement.
