WEST HOPKINS SCHOOL

West Hopkins School is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the Hopkins County school district, located in Nebo, KY with about 424 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 8th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 27 teachers, West Hopkins School has a student/teacher ratio of about 15:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

West Hopkins School, located in the rural community of Nebo, Kentucky, serves as a central educational hub for students in the Hopkins County School District.

The facility at Rabbit Ridge Road acts as a focal point for the surrounding area, often integrating local values with state curriculum standards.
