District-Level NCES Analysis

Hopkins Public Schools operates 4 public schools serving 1,480 students, placing it among the smaller districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 other, 1 high, 1 middle schools, giving families a clear picture of grade-band coverage before they move, rent, or enrol. Aggregated across those campuses, enrollment totals 1,415 pupils using the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2022-23 release, and the district is geographically located in Allegan County County.

Per-pupil expenditure runs $13,640 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, which aggregates every revenue and spending line reported under federal accounting standards. The funding mix is 27.6% local, 63.5% state, and 8.9% federal — a breakdown that matters because districts leaning heavily on local revenue are more exposed to property-tax swings, while higher federal shares typically track Title I concentration. Average teacher compensation clocks in at $57,089 per NCES F-33, a signal of the district's ability to recruit and retain staff against neighbouring districts. The district's equity score — 32/100, ranked #660 of 756 in Michigan against a state average of 50 — measures how evenly funding reaches schools within its boundaries.

Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 730.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above the 250:1 ASCA recommendation, and 28.9% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 90.9% White, 4.5% Hispanic or Latino, 0.7% African American across the district's schools.

Hopkins High School accounts for 33.7% of all Hopkins Public Schools student enrollment

That concentration — well above the 8.4% national median for largest-entity share — means Hopkins Public Schools-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the dominant entity. Grade band: high. A single dominant campus often anchors a district's program offerings and staffing patterns; the share helps explain why district-wide averages may not reflect the typical neighbourhood-school experience. When one entity dominates a region's footprint, its programmatic and budget decisions effectively set policy for a majority of the affected population.

Hopkins Public Schools school enrollment varies 2.1× across entities

Hopkins Public Schools school enrollment ranges from 224 students (lowest) to 477 students (highest), a spread of 253 students. That relatively narrow ratio reflects an unusually homogeneous campus portfolio — most districts have a wider mix of school sizes. Per-school staffing ratios, programme availability, and capital-renovation cycles often diverge inside the same district based on enrollment shape.

Hopkins Public Schools student-counselor ratio is 730:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)

student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment — districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.

Hopkins Public Schools chronic absenteeism rate is 28.9% — near the typical range (US average ~28) — aligned with the national post-pandemic baseline of roughly 28% chronic absenteeism

chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason — illness, family obligations, or disengagement Variation between sub-units within Hopkins Public Schools is typically wider than the Hopkins Public Schools-aggregate figure suggests.
