As a preschool parent, I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hopkins Elementary. From the moment we stepped through the doors, the school felt warm, welcoming, and safelike a second home for our child. The environment is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and joy, and every staff member weve encountered goes out of their way to make families feel seen, heard, and supported.
Our child has made incredible strides both socially and academically this year. When we first started, she was shy and hesitant in group settings. Thanks to the patient, nurturing approach of the teachers, weve watched her blossom into a confident, engaged learner who looks forward to school every day.
What sets Hopkins apart is how deeply the teachers invest in their students. Its clear they see each child as an individual and are genuinely committed to their growth. They communicate regularly, celebrate milestones big and small, and create a classroom culture rooted in kindness, curiosity, and respect.
Hopkins Elementary is more than just a schoolits a community that lifts children up and helps them shine. Were so grateful to have started our childs educational journey here and wholeheartedly recommend it to other families.

I was not at all impressed with the level of education my child was receiveing at Hopkins Elementary. Although some grade levels have really strong teachers, there are definitely some gaps that need to be addressed. My child went from loving school to crying everyday. The administration tries to intimidate the students and parents. I began looking for other school immediately, and as a result, my child has returned to loving school.
