Hopkins Public Schools is a geographically large district spanning 30 miles from Golden Valley into Minnetonka and even parts of Eden Prairie. Some of our students also live outside our school district boundaries. The first two rows of the Hennepin County information chart below represent our Hopkins Community data which is based on the top cities where students and staff reside. The first row represents the community area with the lowest COVID-19 number per 10,000 residents and the second row represents the community area with the highest number. The third column represents county data.
We have provided data from the Minnesota Department of Education's Safe Learning Plan. The data impacting the Hopkins district comes from Hennepin County, the same source referenced in the charts above. However, the data shared from MDE is on a timeframe that is two days behind what is shared directly from Hennepin County, which is why the numbers are slightly different. Because MDE's data may be referenced more frequently in the news and by other districts, we wanted to provide both here.
