Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157

Summary:

The Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157 in Illinois operates two schools: Hoover Elementary School and Schrum Memorial School. Based on the available data, neither school appears to be a standout performer, as both are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in Illinois.

Academically, both Hoover Elementary School and Schrum Memorial School struggle, with significantly lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to state averages. Hoover Elementary School has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger, while Schrum Memorial School has a 1-star rating. Additionally, both schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, exceeding 25% in the 2024-2025 school year.

Socioeconomic factors also play a role, with a large percentage of students at both schools receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Hoover Elementary School had 40.53% of students in this category, while Schrum Memorial School had an even higher rate of 59.77%. Despite the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratios at Schrum Memorial School, these resources do not appear to be translating into better academic outcomes for the district as a whole.
