Hoover Middle

Summary:

Hoover Middle is a public middle school in Albuquerque, New Mexico, serving 394 students in grades 6-8. Despite being part of the Albuquerque school district, which is ranked 89 out of 119 districts in the state, Hoover Middle has consistently maintained a 3-4 star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing above average compared to other middle schools in New Mexico.

Hoover Middle outperforms the Albuquerque and New Mexico state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency. The school also ranks in the top 50 middle schools in the state for female, male, African American, and white student performance, though it struggles with Asian and multi-racial student performance.

The strong academic performance of Hoover Middle, despite serving a high-poverty student population, is noteworthy. However, the school faces challenges in addressing achievement gaps, as some student subgroups excel while others struggle. The nearby schools in the Albuquerque school district also show a wide range of performance, with some ranking among the top middle schools in the state and others among the lowest performers. Continued support and targeted interventions may be necessary to sustain Hoover Middle's academic progress.

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.

Open Quote Avoid this school. There is a serious lack of leadership. The Principal cares more about cats than kids! Parents voices are not heard. The faculty turns the other way when there is serious bullying taking place. The chaos prevents learning. Close Quote

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.
