Summary

Margaret L. Hopkin Middle School is a public school in Moab, Utah, serving 221 students in grades 7–8 as part of the Grand District. No other schools are listed within 20 miles, so families do not have nearby-school data for a direct comparison. The school’s statewide standing has improved, moving from the 10th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 29th percentile in 2025–2026, but it remains below the statewide midpoint.

The clearest recent strengths are in English language arts and 8th-grade science. In 2025–2026, 48.4% of 8th graders were proficient in ELA, compared with 45.6% statewide, and 56.0% were proficient in science, compared with 50.8% statewide. ELA also improved substantially since 2023–2024 in both grades. Mathematics is the most serious academic concern: proficiency was 24.8% in 7th grade and 19.4% in 8th grade, compared with 46.2% and 39.3% statewide. Seventh-grade science was also well below the state average, at 28.3% versus 47.7%.

Attendance is improving but remains an important challenge. Chronic absenteeism fell from 58.1% in 2021–2022 to 36.4% in 2024–2025, yet it was still 12.6 percentage points higher than Utah’s rate. Nearly half of students were identified as economically disadvantaged in the latest available measure, and outcomes for this group ranked in the 11th percentile statewide, below the school’s overall 29th-percentile standing. Overall, the school shows meaningful momentum—especially in ELA and 8th-grade science—while families should pay particular attention to mathematics, attendance, and support for economically disadvantaged students.
