Historically, Herbert Hoover Elementary School has been a high-performing school, ranking as high as 16th out of 599 Iowa elementary schools in the 2015-2016 school year. However, the school's performance has declined in recent years, with its ranking dropping to 244 out of 576 Iowa elementary schools in the 2024-2025 school year, and its rating decreasing from 5 stars to 3 stars. This decline coincides with an increase in chronic absenteeism, from 21.6% in 2023-2024 to 23.7% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the state's average of around 15%.

However, the high-performing Hopewell Elementary and Riverdale Heights Elementary, which are part of the Pleasant Valley Community School District, significantly outperform Herbert Hoover Elementary School in both academic achievement and school rankings.
