Summary:
Zip code 93710 has one listed high school, Herbert Hoover High, serving grades 9–12 and enrolling 2,040 students, so families have no other listed local high school to compare. In 2025–2026, Hoover’s all-grades proficiency was 51% in English language arts (ELA), 22% in math and 31% in science. ELA was 2 percentage points above California, while math was 17 points below and science 5 points below. Attendance is the clearest concern: chronic absenteeism was 35%, compared with 27% in Fresno Unified and 18% statewide, leaving Hoover 17 points above the state rate.
There is no meaningful top-to-bottom comparison among schools because Hoover is the only one listed. Its strongest latest subject result relative to the state was ELA, while math was its largest shortfall. The grade 11 comparison adds an important qualification: Hoover’s ELA result was 51%, but the state grade 11 result was 57%, so Hoover was 7 points below on that grade-matched comparison. Other outcomes are more favorable: Hoover’s 2025–2026 graduation rate was 93%, versus 88% statewide and 91% in the district; its dropout rate was 6%, compared with 8% statewide.
Results improved in math and science over the two reported years, but ELA moved in the opposite direction. From 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, math proficiency rose from 15% to 22% and science from 20% to 31%; their gaps with California narrowed by 5 and 7 points, respectively. ELA fell from 57% to 51%, reducing Hoover’s advantage over the state by 7 points. SchoolDigger’s ranking also improved, from rank 1,535, percentile 29 and 1 star in 2023–2024 to rank 1,061, percentile 50 and 3 stars in 2025–2026. As context, Hoover’s student-teacher ratio was 18.7 in 2024–2025, and 84% of students were reported as free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these figures do not explain the school’s results.
