They teach a value based ethics education. It is Catholic based but open and inviting to anyone of any background or religion. On of my best friends who went there was a hindu. They have need based scholarships and the school, faculty and students truly give back to the community.

I don't really want to sully positive reviews here for negativity, but I was bullied at this school during my time as a student here. Not only from the students (two of whom I was in a toxic friendship with), but the PARAs, teachers and adults who should have known better. I was a disabled student with several family members that died during my junior and senior years, and I was yelled at for crying in class and for having panic attacks that were out of my control, causing increased mental breakdowns throughout the day. This school also has a history of racism and prejudice as a whole, and I had an unpleasant encounter with some students saying homophobic things to another student only to act like it was all a big joke, some other students in my class were joking about prison r*pe and genuinely thought it was funny, and my Mexcian peers were treated horribly by a staff member who I won't name solely because they were Mexican, and another PARA was so islamaphobic to another staff member that they made them cry. The only saving grace were the positive staff members who made my experience worthwhile, namely the receptionist, who I still have yet to call to thank her, my case manager, my writing teachers, and my science teachers. Still, I was afraid to report the toxic friendships I had with the two students I knew here due to the trauma I sustained. The way they treated me was no way to treat a student who experienced several deaths in the family. I would advise against sending your students here, but given the positive reviews others left based on their happy experiences, I would advise you make this decision for yourself and take caution if your child claims their teacher is out to get them because at Hopkins High, that claim may very well be true.

I never felt safe there because of an occurrence with another student and the council it's don't really care how they feel. They only care about their paycheck. Not only that there are power outages at least three times a year. It's saying something when teachers have flash lights in their desks. Not only is it the logistics that are slow and bare minimum. Many of the teachers are terrible. In fact one teacher actually said to me "I get paid either way if you learns something". That's classy. Although I'm disappointed in my education at this school there were some really great times here. Mr. Maas was one of my favorite teachers and really got down to his students level to teach them things. My absolute favorite thing though. Is getting out of there. Has great potential to be a good school if (some, not all)teachers and staff really brought forth effort to understand students needs and wants.
