Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157

The Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157 in Illinois serves two schools - Hoover Elementary School and Schrum Memorial School. Both schools are performing below average compared to state benchmarks, with low proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Hoover Elementary School has particularly concerning performance, with only 21.4% of students proficient or better in ELA and 4.4% in Mathematics. Schrum Memorial School fares slightly better, with 28.7% proficient or better in ELA and 6% in Mathematics, but both schools are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges.

Despite the district's high per-student spending and relatively low student-teacher ratios, these resources do not seem to be translating into improved academic outcomes. This suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and utilization strategies to better address the underlying issues affecting student performance across both Hoover Elementary School and Schrum Memorial School.
