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 safe—like a second home for our child. The environment is thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity and joy, and every staff member we’ve 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, we’ve 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. It’s 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 school—it’s a community that lifts children up and helps them shine. We’re so grateful to have started our child’s educational journey here and wholeheartedly recommend it to other families.

Daughter graduated and spent her high school journey here. Great school.

Transferred from a good public school when I moved to MN, nothing but bullying harassment and drugs, first day of school saw kids shoving eachother, smell of pot in the bathrooms and graffiti too some teachers are completely tired and don't deal with troublemakers although some are incredibly kind.(if you are moving to mn look at other schools please)
