Summary

North Hopkins Elementary in Sulphur Springs, TX, is a small, rural PK-6 school serving 264 students within the high-performing North Hopkins Independent School District (Isd), which ranks in the 83rd percentile statewide. This school stands out as the premier academic choice in the region, dramatically outperforming nearby schools like Fannindel Elementary (0 stars) and Albert C Williams Elementary (0 stars), and even surpassing the larger Sulphur Springs Elementary (2 stars). With a very favorable student-to-teacher ratio of 11:1, North Hopkins offers a more personalized learning environment than most neighboring schools, including those in the Sulphur Springs Independent School District (Isd) where ratios range from 12.9 to 15.5.

One of the school's most impressive strengths is its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide with a 5-star rating—a remarkable turnaround from a 0-star rating just a few years ago. North Hopkins also excels in mathematics, with 5th graders achieving a 61.9% proficiency rate compared to 0% at Fannindel and 21.8% at Albert C. Williams. The school's overall academic performance has shown a strong upward trajectory over the past decade, transforming from a low-performing institution to a consistently solid performer currently holding a 3-star rating and ranking in the 65th percentile.

While the school demonstrates strong results, there are areas for continued focus. Female students significantly outperform male students, with a 23-percentile-point gap in rankings. Additionally, support for economically disadvantaged students, who make up 52% of the student body, has been inconsistent, dropping from a phenomenal 94th percentile in 2023-2024 to the 68th percentile recently. Despite these challenges, North Hopkins achieves its strong results through effective resource allocation, spending $10,672 per student—less than nearby low-performing schools like Fannindel ($15,379) and Albert C. Williams ($13,019)—making it a compelling alternative for families seeking a small, rural school with strong academics and personalized attention.
