Hoover School

Summary:

Hoover School is an elementary school located in Lincoln Park School District, serving 278 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (30.22%) and African American (14.03%) students compared to nearby schools.

While Hoover School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Michigan elementary schools, it has shown some promising signs of improvement, earning a 3-star rating in the current school year. Notably, the school's Hispanic and low socioeconomic status (SES) students perform significantly better than the overall school, ranking in the top 36 and top 247 Michigan elementary schools, respectively. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 33.5% to 46.0% over the past few years, is a concern that may be impacting academic performance.

When compared to nearby schools, Hoover School stands out for its higher spending per student, ranging from $20,628 to $28,520 over the past few years. This suggests a focus on additional resources and support for students, but the school's overall performance suggests that the funding is not yet translating into consistent academic success across all grades and subjects. Schools in the Allen Park Public Schools district, such as Arno Elementary and Lindemann Elementary, have higher overall academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates compared to Hoover School and the other Lincoln Park schools.

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.
