Summary

Lou Henry Hoover School of Fine Arts enrolls 374 students in grades K–5 in Whittier, within the Whittier City district. Its latest results show a clear academic concern: science proficiency was 23% in 2025–26, well below the state, district, and nearby-school averages.

Math is Hoover’s closest subject to state and district results, while ELA compares best with nearby schools. In 2025–26, math proficiency was 36%, versus 38% statewide and 39% in the district; ELA was 46%, versus 49% statewide and 50% in the district. Against the nine nearby K–5 schools, Hoover was about 1 point below their ELA average, 5 points below their math average, and 10 points below their science average. Its science result was the second-lowest in that group, ahead only of Orange Grove Elementary. Fifth-grade math also stands out: 25% proficiency was the lowest among the ten schools compared, while fourth-grade math was 43%, slightly above state and district results.

Results have been mixed over time: math rose from 31% in 2022–23 to 36% in 2025–26, while ELA ended nearly where it began; science climbed to 40% in 2024–25 before dropping 17 points to 23%. SchoolDigger places Hoover at the 48th percentile with 2 stars in 2025–26, compared with the district’s 65th percentile and 3 stars. The 2024–25 student–teacher ratio was 25.9, and 79% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year. One notable bright spot in SchoolDigger’s statewide rankings is its effectiveness ranking for Special Education Students: the 71st percentile, compared with Hoover’s overall 48th percentile. Its Female Students ranking fell from the 62nd percentile in 2024–25 to the 35th in 2025–26.
