My daughter was just threatened with a knife from an eighth grader, so I can't really recommend this school. I have regret!

Totally great school with excellent teachers! We moved to Hopkinton from Framingham, and it's a huge difference! Music program is outstanding! A lot of teachers are brilliant, and love their job. My son is very happy in this school!

We have moved several times because of my husbands job and our time in Hopkinton was one of the best. The school is amazing, academics are so far above other schools. Music program is A+. My kids had one of the best school years ever. Horray to all the 6th grade teachers.

I think that the teachers at HMS do everything they can to help the students they teach and try to have students do their best work even if they help the kids on their own time. Thank you so much for being the one of a kind school that you truely are!
