Hopkins North Middle School is a public middle school located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 888 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.
While Hopkins North Middle School has a relatively diverse student population, with 51.69% White, 20.27% African American, and 14.64% Hispanic students, its academic performance, as measured by MCA-III test scores, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in math. The school's proficiency rate in math for all grades was 32.71% in the 2023-2024 school year, compared to the district's 37.73% and the state's 45.47%. However, the school's reading proficiency rates are closer to the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's rankings for Asian, African American, and multi-racial students are generally lower than the rankings for White and Hispanic students.
When comparing Hopkins North Middle School to nearby schools, such as Wayzata Central Middle and Minnetonka East Middle, which are part of higher-performing school districts, the academic performance gap becomes more apparent, particularly in math and science. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined over the past few years, from 81st out of 521 Minnesota middle schools in 2020-2021 to 230th out of 545 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school may be struggling to keep pace with other middle schools in the state, despite its diverse student population. The growing percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 29.74% in 2020-2021 to 39.98% in 2022-2023, also indicates that the school may be serving a larger population of students from lower-income families, which could have implications for the resources and support needed to ensure their academic success.
