Summary:
ZIP code 94608 has two elementary schools: Anna Yates Elementary serves kindergarten through grade 8 and enrolls 428 students, while Hoover Elementary serves kindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 281. In 2025–2026, both schools were below California’s all-grades proficiency rates in English language arts (ELA), math and science. The most important difference is consistent across subjects and shared grades: Anna Yates outperformed Hoover, while Hoover was further below the state in every all-grades subject.
Anna Yates stands out as the stronger performer overall: 33% of students were proficient in ELA, 28% in math and 22% in science, compared with 14%, 16% and 7% at Hoover. That is a 19-point ELA advantage, 12 points in math and 15 points in science. Both schools remained below California’s rates, but Hoover’s gaps were larger: 36 points below the state in ELA, 23 in math and 29 in science, compared with 17, 10 and 14 points for Anna Yates. Grade-level results add important nuance: Anna Yates’ fourth-grade math reached 49%, 6 points above the state, while its fourth-grade ELA was just 3 points below. Hoover was below the state in every listed shared-grade subject.
Recent progress is mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the two-school average moved 1 point closer to the state in math, but farther behind by 4 points in ELA and 2 in science. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings also show a wide separation: Anna Yates was in the 30th percentile and Hoover in the 3rd; Hoover stayed at the 3rd percentile across all three ranking years supplied. Context measures differ, too: in 2024–2025, free/reduced lunch eligible students made up 71% at Anna Yates and 97% at Hoover. Their student-teacher ratios were 18.2 and 25.5, respectively. These figures describe school context, not the reasons for differences in results; grade-level comparisons here cover grades both schools serve.
