Summary:
Hoover Elementary School is the only elementary school listed in Hoover-Schrum Memorial School District 157; it serves prekindergarten through grade 5 and enrolls 571 students. In 2025–2026, 37% of students were proficient in all-grades ELA, 18% in all-grades math, and 22% in fifth-grade science. The most important finding is that all three results were below state figures, by 19, 22, and 25 percentage points, respectively.
There is no top or bottom school to identify because the list contains only one; within Hoover’s results, math was stronger relative to the district than ELA. Math proficiency was 18%, 3 points above the district’s 14%, while ELA was 37%, 5 points below the district’s 42%. Fifth-grade science was 22%, matching the district, but 25 points below the state’s 48%. ELA was closer to the state than math in 2025–2026: the gaps were 19 points in ELA and 22 in math. Grade-level ELA gaps also narrowed from 19 points in grade 3 to 13 in grade 5; math gaps were 26 points in grade 3 and 21 in grade 4.
Results improved from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 in all three reported subjects: ELA rose 13 points, math 5 points, and fifth-grade science 14 points. State results rose too, but by less—3 points in ELA, 1 in math, and 7 in science—so the gaps narrowed. SchoolDigger ranked Hoover at the 10th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 9th percentile the year before and below the 20th percentile in 2023–2024. The school reported a 14.2 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025 and 35% free/reduced lunch eligible that year; these are context, not explanations for test results. Chronic absenteeism was 28% in 2025–2026, 4 points above the state and 1 point below the district. Because only one school is listed, the data cannot show how schools compare with one another.
