While Hopkinsville High School has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 16:1, its performance on key metrics like graduation rates and test scores lags behind nearby schools. The school's four-year graduation rate of 90.6% is lower than the 93.3% rate at Christian County High School. Additionally, Hopkinsville High School's test scores are generally lower than the state and district averages, with only 31% of 11th-grade students proficient or better in ACT English, compared to 35% in the district and 44% statewide. The school also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 60.29%, which is higher than the 66.81% rate at Christian County High School.

Hopkinsville High School's performance has been inconsistent over the years, with its statewide ranking fluctuating significantly from 78th out of 295 Kentucky high schools in 2014-2015 to 170th out of 290 in 2023-2024. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with Hopkinsville High School ranking 35th out of 93 Kentucky high schools for African American students, but only 121st out of 168 for special education students. These challenges suggest that Hopkinsville High School may face unique socioeconomic factors that are impacting its academic outcomes, and addressing these issues will likely require a multifaceted approach.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote this school has leaks in the ceilings, mold, asbestos, exposed ceilings and pipes, and high chances you will get sick is it worth your child coming here? probably, if you want the school to pay your hospital bill. and some people at the school think that we're spreading lies about the conditions in the school even though there is video and photo evidence that this school is in desperate need of a remodel or at least some fixing up, which would probably be finished after i graduate, knowing them. oh, and theres lots of sex happening here so fairly high percent chance of pregnancy, so be prepared for your grandkids early.

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.
