There were 47 Asian students enrolled in Hopkins County schools in the 2022-23 school year, a 9.3% increase from the 43 Asian students in the previous school year, according to the Kentucky Department of Education.

Data showed that Hopkins County welcomed a total of 7,676 students during the 2022-23 school year. Among them, Asian students comprised 0.6% of the student body to be the second least represented ethnicity in the county.

Among the 17 schools in Hopkins County, Madisonville North Hopkins High School recorded the highest enrollment of Asian students in the 2022-23 school year, with a total of nine students, making up 0.7% of the school's total student body.

Despite escaping some of the pandemic's educational disruptions, Kentucky's achievement gaps have remained an issue since 2019. In the eighth-grade reading assessments, for example, Hispanic students scored eight points lower than their white peers, and the gap reached 15 points in math. Black students fared even worse, falling more than 20 points behind and facing a failure rate nearly double that of their white counterparts.
