Hoover Elementary School

Summary:

Hoover Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Hazel Park, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 266. The school is part of the Hazel Park School District, which is ranked 535 out of 610 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoover Elementary has a diverse student population, with 46.99% White, 37.22% African American, 3.76% Hispanic, and 11.28% two or more races. However, the school faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 28.6% to 42.3%, which are significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Great Oaks Academy and Oakland Elementary School. Academically, Hoover Elementary's performance, as measured by M-Step test scores, is consistently lower than the state and district averages, with only 14% of 3rd graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 39.6%.

Hoover Elementary also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 80.83% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is higher than the nearby schools. Despite the significant increase in spending per student, from $11,887 in 2019-2020 to $21,537 in 2022-2023, the school's statewide ranking has declined, suggesting that the additional resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes for the students. The school's performance for specific student subgroups, such as female students, male students, African American students, and white students, is also consistently lower than the state averages, indicating a need for targeted interventions and strategies to address these disparities.

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.
