Hopkins Senior High

Summary:

Hopkins Senior High is a public high school located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 1,491 students. The school is part of the Hopkins Public School District, which is ranked 254 out of 463 districts in Minnesota and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hopkins Senior High stands out for its diverse student population, with 48.42% White, 25.15% African American, 12.74% Hispanic, 5.3% Asian, and 7.85% two or more races. However, the school's academic performance has been mixed, with proficiency rates in Math and Science below the state average, but Reading proficiency rates higher, particularly for 10th-grade students. The school's overall academic ranking has fluctuated over the years, ranging from 98th to 280th out of Minnesota high schools. While the school maintains a relatively high four-year graduation rate, its dropout rate has also been higher than the state average.

Compared to nearby schools like VirtualEDU Secondary and Ubah Academy, which serve a higher proportion of minority and economically disadvantaged students with lower overall academic performance, Hopkins Senior High faces unique challenges in addressing achievement gaps and maintaining consistent academic progress. Ensuring adequate staffing and equitable resource allocation may be an area for improvement to support student learning and success.

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.
