Hoover Middle School

Summary:

Hoover Middle School is a public middle school located in Taylor, Michigan, serving approximately 490 students in grades 6-8. The school is part of the Taylor School District, which is ranked 545 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoover Middle School faces significant challenges, including a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (33.67%) and Hispanic (9.18%) students. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of Michigan middle schools, with a ranking between 625-808 out of 675-897 schools over the past several years. This places it in the bottom 25% of middle schools in the state. Hoover Middle School's rankings for specific student subgroups, such as female, male, white, and special education students, are also concerning, with most falling in the bottom 25% or 35%. The school has experienced very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 42.9% to 84% over the past several years, which is significantly higher than the state average and many of the nearby schools.

Academically, Hoover Middle School's performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is well below the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Math were around 12-17%, compared to state averages of 37.5-37.9%. When comparing Hoover Middle School to other nearby middle schools, such as Robert J. West Middle School, it consistently underperforms. Hoover Middle School's high percentage of students (over 80%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage, likely contributes to the school's challenges with academic performance and chronic absenteeism.

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.
