Summary

Oliver Hoover Elementary School is a public school in the Hammocks area of Miami, FL, serving 617 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools district. This school stands out for its exceptional math proficiency, with 85% of 3rd graders and 88% of 4th graders meeting state standards in the 2025-2026 school year—well above district and state averages. It also boasts a low chronic absenteeism rate of just 13.8%, less than half the district and state rates, and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14:1, which suggests more individualized attention for students.

Oliver Hoover is a strong performer, but it is not the top school in its immediate area. Calusa Elementary School, just 1.5 miles away, achieves even higher test scores (ranking in the 98th percentile) but does so with a larger student-teacher ratio of 17.3:1 and lower spending per student ($11,957 vs. Oliver Hoover's $15,956). This means Oliver Hoover provides a very solid education with more resources per student and smaller classes. Interestingly, schools like Dr. Gilbert L. Porter Elementary School and Dante B. Fascell Elementary School spend more per student ($18,359 and $18,420, respectively) but achieve lower overall rankings and test scores, indicating that Oliver Hoover uses its funding effectively.

Compared to nearby K-8 centers like Bowman Ashe/Doolin K-8 Academy, Kendall Square K-8 Center, and Winston Park K-8 Center, Oliver Hoover's elementary-level test scores are generally on par or slightly higher. For example, in 5th-grade math, Oliver Hoover scored 76%, while Bowman Ashe scored 70%, Kendall Square scored 53%, and Winston Park scored 74%. The school has also shown a strong upward trajectory in its state ranking, climbing from the 73rd percentile in 2020-2021 to the 87th percentile in 2025-2026, making it a top-tier choice for families focused on elementary education in the area.
