John Hopkins Middle School

Summary:

John Hopkins Middle School is a public middle school located in St. Petersburg, Florida, serving grades 6-8 with a student population of 723 and is part of the Pinellas District.

While John Hopkins Middle School has a diverse student population, with 49.1% African American, 29.88% White, and 13.14% Hispanic students, it has consistently underperformed compared to nearby schools and the district average. The school has a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate of 36.3%, compared to the district's 20.8% and the state's average. Additionally, John Hopkins Middle School's test scores in English Language Arts, Math, Algebra 1, Civics, and Science are lower than the Pinellas District and the state of Florida. For instance, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 44% of 8th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 52% in the district and 51% in the state.

Despite the higher spending per student at John Hopkins Middle School, which was $12,321 in the 2022-2023 school year, the school's performance metrics suggest that the additional funding may not be translating into improved academic outcomes. When compared to nearby schools, such as Thurgood Marshall Fundamental, which is located just 2 miles away and consistently ranks higher with a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, the need for targeted interventions and resource allocation at John Hopkins Middle School becomes evident.

Open Quote Bad school. Terrible atmosphere for kids and parents. Administration staff and teachers not the best. Total disinterest from everyone and disorganized. Bullying. If you want your child's grades to go down, it's the school! Would NOT recommend.... Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
