Hopkinton High School

Q: Is Hopkinton High School a good school?

Hopkinton High School ranks 13 th of 87 New Hampshire high schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 4 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Hopkinton High School is a public high school located in Contoocook, New Hampshire, serving grades 9-12 with a student population of 305. The school is part of the Kearsarge Regional School District, which is ranked 26 out of 163 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hopkinton High School consistently ranks among the top high schools in New Hampshire, with strong academic performance on state assessments and SAT exams. The school's proficiency rates in reading and science are significantly above the state averages. However, the student population is relatively homogeneous, with over 90% of students identifying as White, which is higher than the racial diversity seen in many nearby schools like Concord High School. Additionally, Hopkinton High School has a very low percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 1.56% to 5.57% over the past few years, which is much lower than the surrounding schools.

Hopkinton High School's academic excellence is further highlighted by its consistent outperformance of nearby schools, such as Franklin High School, Pembroke Academy, and Hillsboro-Deering High School, on state assessments and SAT scores. This suggests that the school is providing a higher-quality education to its students, which may be influenced by the relatively low student-teacher ratio and the socioeconomic status of the student population.

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.
