Summary

Herbert Hoover High is a public high school serving about 1,590 students in grades 9-12 within the Glendale Unified School District, representing a solid, middle-performing option in the area with a strong 95% graduation rate.

The school shows a mix of strengths and challenges: while it excels at graduating students and supporting economically disadvantaged groups, its academic proficiency, especially in math, lags behind the district average and top-performing schools like Crescenta Valley High. A significant concern is chronic absenteeism, with over 22% of students missing too much school, a rate higher than both the state and nearby schools such as Burroughs High and Burbank High.

Compared to its neighbors, Hoover occupies a unique middle ground—it consistently outperforms Glendale High academically but trails Crescenta Valley High by a wide margin. Its per-student spending is similar to other comprehensive high schools, suggesting room to improve outcomes by addressing attendance and specific academic weaknesses, building on its proven success in helping a diverse student body cross the graduation stage.
