Summary:
The Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157 in Illinois is home to a single elementary school, Hoover Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school's performance has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Illinois elementary schools, with a statewide rank of 1876 out of 2056 schools in the 2024-2025 school year.
Hoover Elementary School's academic performance is significantly below state averages. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.4% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 53.1%. In Mathematics, only 13% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 38.5%. The school's performance has remained relatively stagnant over the past few years, with only minor improvements in some subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4%, which is significantly higher than the state average.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $18,460, which is above the state average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.5, these resources have not translated into improved academic outcomes. The school's challenges appear to be rooted in socioeconomic factors, as it has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 40.53% in the 2023-2024 school year. These findings suggest that the Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157 may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address the underlying issues and improve student learning outcomes at Hoover Elementary School.
