Hopkins High School

Summary:

Hopkins High School is a public high school serving 498 students in grades 9-12 in Hopkins, Michigan, which is part of the Otsego Public Schools district. While the school has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, recent data reveals some concerning trends that parents should be aware of.

Compared to nearby schools like Otsego High School and Wayland High School, Hopkins High School has a significantly higher percentage of white students and lower graduation rates, with a concerning increase in dropout rates from 0.7% to 10.8% over the past few years. The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, reaching 26.9% in 2022-2023, and lower test scores, particularly in science and social studies, compared to state and district averages.

These performance issues have led to a decline in the school's statewide ranking, from 422 out of 743 Michigan high schools in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating, down from a 4-star rating the previous year. The school's challenges may be linked to its relatively high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, which could contribute to the disparities in academic achievement between different student subgroups. Addressing these concerns will be crucial for Hopkins High School to improve its outcomes and better serve its community.

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.
