Hopkins does not provide athletic scholarships as none of the student athletes are on athletic scholarship (In response to the misinformed post from November 2008). The school is great but does lack some diversity. They have an updated athletic center and many updated academic facilities, with plans for more development of the giant campus. Best private school in Southern, CT.
Hopkins has a great reputation and a beautiful campus. However, the faculty is very uneven, from great to absolutely inadequate. The school does not replace incompetent teachers, and the students all know who they are. The head of school does not know the kids and the entire administration seems more concerned in raising money for more bricks and mortar than with the education of its undeniably gifted student body. Parents are pretty apathetic and involved solely in fund raising. Coasting on a good reputation and lots of admisions via legacy and Yale connections wll only go so far.
Hopkins is a good school in a terrible neighborhood. The sports are not top notch. The students have largely Yale associated parents, hence the convenience of New Haven and the feeder school to Yale for the children. Overall it is a good day school with a rough neighborhood surround which caters to rich Yale families and scholarship inner city athletes. We did not have a good experience here. The facilities are small and outdated also.
