Congratulations to Hopkinton High School for being named one of the top 100 public high schools in the state by U.S. News & World Report. The school also earned the distinction of being named a Gold Medal School - one of the top schools in the country for college readiness.

This isn't the first accolade for Hopkinton public schools. The school district has already been recognized for its top public high school by Newsweek.

The well regarded public schools are one of the reasons Hopkinton was named one of the best places to live in Massachusetts by Boston Magazine.
