District At-A-Glance

Community Profile

Hopkinton, one of Massachusetts’s larger towns geographically, remains one of the state’s fastest growing communities.  Approximately fifty percent of those who call Hopkinton home have moved here in the past fifteen years, many drawn here by our highly acclaimed schools that stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best schools in the country.  This record-breaking enrollment growth has been influenced by Hopkinton’s proximity to Worcester, Boston, and Providence, Rhode Island, as well as its easy accessibility to Routes 495, 9, and the Massachusetts Turnpike. The rural beauty and friendly small-town character of Hopkinton have been preserved, as the town’s industrial base has changed from agriculture to biomedical and technology. 

Best known as the starting place for the Boston Marathon, Hopkinton is located twenty-six miles west of downtown Boston.  Additionally, the town is a recognized leader in open space protection with over 4,700 acres of open space, 60 percent of which is protected in perpetuity.   Click here for information from the Hopkinton town website about State Parks, other green space, and hiking trails in the community.
