Hopkins Elementary School

Summary:

Hopkins Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 386 students in grades PK-5 in the Hopkins Public Schools district in Hopkins, Michigan. The school consistently outperforms the state average in academic performance, despite having a higher percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds compared to the state average.

Hopkins Elementary School's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with 54.7% of 3rd graders, 67.2% of 4th graders, and 39.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state averages of 39.6%, 43.3%, and 44%, respectively. The school's math proficiency rates also exceed the state averages across all three grade levels. This strong academic performance is achieved despite the school having a higher per-student spending of $13,005, which is above the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 17.8, which is higher than some nearby schools like Sycamore Elementary School (14.0) and Allegan Public Schools (15.9-17.9).

While Hopkins Elementary School's student population is predominantly White, the school has seen a slight increase in the percentage of Hispanic and multi-racial students in recent years. This diversity may provide opportunities for cultural exchange and understanding within the school community. However, the school has also experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.0% in 2018-2019 to 14.6% in 2022-2023, which may impact student learning and academic achievement if not addressed. Additionally, the school's performance on the M-Step assessments varies across different student subgroups, presenting opportunities for the school to focus on addressing these performance gaps.

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.

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.
