Summary:
There is only one high school located in the 50310 zip code - Hoover High School, which is part of the Des Moines Independent Community School District. Based on the available data, Hoover High School appears to be a struggling school, ranking 319 out of 340 Iowa high schools for the 2024-2025 school year and earning a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The school's performance on standardized tests is consistently below the state and district averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. Hoover High School had an 88.3% four-year graduation rate in 2023-2024, slightly below the state average, and a concerning 21.6% chronic absenteeism rate, significantly higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, 69.66% of the school's students were eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.
Despite the school's challenges, it is spending more per student than the state average, at $17,790 per student for the 2018-2019 school year. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 22.5, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. Overall, the data suggests that Hoover High School faces significant obstacles in providing a high-quality education to its students, and addressing these issues will likely require a comprehensive approach targeting both academic and non-academic factors.
