Hoover Elementary

Summary:

Hoover Elementary is a public elementary school in Stockton, California, serving 710 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Stockton Unified School District, which is ranked 1289 out of 1568 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoover Elementary faces significant challenges, including a high chronic absenteeism rate that has risen from 19.8% in 2018-2019 to 61.3% in 2021-2022, well above the district and state averages. Academically, the school consistently performs below the Stockton Unified School District and the state of California in Smarter Balanced Assessments for English Language Arts/Literacy and Mathematics. In 2023-2024, only 22.64% of Hoover Elementary students were proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy, compared to 28.71% for the district and 47.04% for the state. In Mathematics, only 15.08% of Hoover Elementary students were proficient or better, compared to 17.96% for the district and 35.54% for the state. The school's performance is particularly low for certain student subgroups, such as English Language Learners and Low Socio-Economic Status students.

When compared to nearby schools within the Stockton Unified School District, such as Kohl Open Elementary, Flora Arca Mata, and George Washington Elementary, Hoover Elementary's performance is generally lower. However, when compared to schools in the neighboring Lincoln Unified School District, such as Brookside Elementary, Hoover Elementary's performance is significantly lower across multiple academic measures. The high chronic absenteeism rate at Hoover Elementary appears to be closely linked to the school's poor academic performance, and the school's high percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients suggests that socio-economic factors may also contribute to the challenges faced by the school.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
