My son attends the 4th grade at Hopkins. This is his third year there. The teachers are very compassionate about their jobs and it is a very safe school. They have neat activities like the Dr. Seuss reading day and an outstanding Fall Festival. The principal and assistant principal are very focused on students' academic progress and keeping the school safe and positive. This school has the most attractive displays of student work in each hallway that I have ever seen. Good work folks! NN

I have two children who currently attend Hopkins Elementary. Both of them are excelling academically and socially. Not enough good could be said about the quality education and the wonderful teachers and staff at this school. At Hopkins, children are cared for and cared about.

My son has attended Hopkins since Kindergarten. He is a 3rd grader and loves it. He has had wonderful teachers that have not only taught him a great deal, but genuinely care about him as well as all the students. The academic programs, grading system, testing, incentives, etc. are great! There are plenty of extracurricular activities. No one can ever say 'I'm bored!' Parent involvement is more than welcome and, if needed, appointments to speak to a child's teacher is not a problem. I enjoy having lunch with my child too. There is simply a pleasant atmosphere when you walk into and out of the school. I not only feel that my son is being well taken care of educationally, I believe he is very safe there. That's very important to me.

About the tests


In 2010-2011 Kentucky used the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT) to assess students in grades 3 through 8 and 10 through 12 in reading, social studies, science, writing, and math. The Elementary School results displayed on GreatSchools profiles are for grades 3 through 5 combined for each subject. Middle School results are for grades 6 though 8 combined, and High School results are for grades 10 though 12 combined. The KCCT is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Kentucky.
