District-Level NCES Analysis
Hopkins Public Schools operates 4 public schools serving 1,480 students, placing it among the smallest districts in Michigan. The school portfolio breaks down into 2 combined, 1 high, 1 middle schools, a small enough portfolio that most families will interact with nearly every campus in the district at some point. These enrollment and school figures come from the NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) 2024-25 release, and the district is based in Allegan County.
Per-pupil expenditure runs $12,308 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the lower half of 821 Michigan districts by per-pupil spending. See how Michigan compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis. The funding mix is 27.6% local, 63.5% state, and 8.9% federal, a state-revenue-heavy mix that insulates the district somewhat from local property-tax volatility, though it ties funding to state budget cycles. The district's equity score is 37/100, ranked #552 of 707 in Michigan against a state average of 50, notably less even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
Academic infrastructure includes 1 of 4 schools offering Advanced Placement (5 AP courses district-wide), a 730.1:1 student-counselor ratio, above both the ASCA benchmark and the roughly 408:1 national average, 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. Its most demographically mixed campus is Hopkins Elementary School, with a diversity index of 22.9/100.
Its largest campus is Hopkins High School, enrolling 477 students (34% of the district's total enrollment).
Hopkins High School accounts for 32.2% of all Hopkins Public Schools student enrollment
That dominant concentration 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 — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
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 Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
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.
Hopkins Public Schools has 4 schools, including 1 high, 2 combined, 1 middle. Total enrollment is 1,480 students.
