Newsweek magazine has released their list of America's 1300 Top Public High Schools. They rank the schools according to this formula: "Public schools are ranked according to a ratio devised by Jay Mathews: the number of Advanced Placement, Intl. Baccalaureate and/or Cambridge tests taken by all students at a school in 2007 divided by the number of graduating seniors."
Hopkinton High School ranks number 496 which puts it in the top 2% of schools ranked by this method.
For the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), all 10th graders in the state are tested and scored according to their performance: advanced, proficient, needs improvement, or failing. Hopkinton 10th graders scored a combined 84% advanced and proficient in both the English and Math exam (these are the only two subjects tested in 10th grade) with an impressive 58% scoring advanced in Math. See full results of MCAS testing for Hopkinton.
In addition to stellar performance, the school is aesthetically beautiful and offers a state of the art athletic center, fitness, facility, and performing arts stage.
