These students did not meet the required standards of the English Language Arts portion of the MCAS, compared to the 74% who did.

The number of Hopkinton Public School District students who failed their English Language Arts assessments rose by 12.1% from the previous school year.

Hopkinton Public School District roughly covers schools within Middlesex County and has a main office in Hopkinton.

In the 2021-22 school year, 400,101 students took the English Language Arts test in Massachusetts with 25% students failing, 10.1% more than the year before.

According to the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education's 2022 Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System (MCAS), the average scale score for grade 10 English Language Arts was 503, which met the expectation level, while the average scale score for grade 10 Science was 499, which only partially met the expectation level.
