Summary:
Zip code 91202 in Glendale, California, is served by one public high school, Herbert Hoover High, which educates grades 9-12 within the Glendale Unified district.
Herbert Hoover High presents a mixed academic profile, performing near or above state averages in English (50% proficient) and science (34% proficient) but struggling significantly in mathematics, where only 29% of students are proficient, a rate well below both the district and state. Despite these academic challenges, the school excels in student retention, boasting a strong 94.7% graduation rate and a very low 1.3% dropout rate, which are better than state averages. A notable concern is the chronic absenteeism rate of 22.3%, which is higher than both district and state figures and may impact learning.

It serves a student population where over half qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. For parents, this indicates a school within a generally high-performing district that successfully supports students through to graduation but has clear room for improvement in math achievement and student attendance.
