Summary

Herbert Hoover Elementary serves 326 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Indio, within Desert Sands Unified. Compared with ten nearby K–5 schools, Hoover has the lowest proficiency in English language arts and math. Most importantly, its latest results are below district and state levels in all three tested subjects.

In 2025–2026, Hoover’s proficiency was 21% in English language arts, 11% in math, and 16% in science. Those results were below the state’s 49%, 38%, and 36%, and the district’s 43%, 28%, and 29%, respectively. Hoover also fell below nearby-school averages of 33% in English language arts, 24% in math, and 23% in science. Science is its strongest subject relative to local schools: Hoover scored above four nearby schools in science, though it remained below the district and state. Fourth-grade math stands out as a particular concern: 2% of Hoover fourth graders were proficient, compared with 31% districtwide and 42% statewide.

Over time, science has improved most, rising from 5% proficiency in 2022–2023 to 16% in 2025–2026; English language arts was essentially flat at 21% in both years, while math rose from 10% to 11% after peaking at 16%. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 55% in 2021–2022 to 29% in 2025–2026, though the latest rate was still 11 points above the state’s. SchoolDigger places Hoover in the 6th percentile statewide, ranks it 5,458 of 5,804, and awards it zero stars; only one of the ten nearby schools has a lower percentile. Hoover’s 24.1 student-teacher ratio is the second-highest nearby, and 97% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the highest nearby share. A notable historical SchoolDigger result suggests stronger performance for English Language Learner students than for Hoover overall: the group ranked in the 27th percentile in 2022–2023 versus the school’s 6th percentile, but fell to the 18th percentile the following year.
