Better than 8% of Michigan elementary schools

Summary

Hoover Elementary School in Hazel Park, MI, serves 280 students from Pre-K through 5th grade as part of the Hazel Park School District of the City of, a district facing significant academic challenges in a community where 81% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Hoover shows a promising start for its youngest learners, with 3rd grade reading proficiency (25%) nearly double the district average and math scores also exceeding district levels. However, this early strength fades by 4th and 5th grade, where proficiency drops well below district averages in both subjects. The school's overall state ranking places it in the bottom 10% of Michigan elementary schools, though its ranking has fluctuated dramatically year to year—from the 1st percentile in 2019 to the 18th percentile in 2024—suggesting that individual classroom cohorts can significantly shift results. Chronic absenteeism affects 44.6% of students, a serious concern that has improved from 53% the prior year, though it remains above the state average of 27.9%. On a positive note, Hoover maintains a favorable 13.5:1 student-teacher ratio and spends $17,883 per student, resources that could support improvement efforts.

Comparing Hoover to nearby schools reveals important context. Just 1.5 miles away, Great Oaks Academy, a charter serving a similar student population, achieves dramatically higher proficiency—45.3% in 3rd grade reading versus Hoover's 25%—while spending less per student and using larger class sizes. Meanwhile, Mark C Roose Elementary in Center Line Public Schools spends a comparable amount but ranks in the 43rd percentile statewide. These comparisons suggest Hoover's challenges aren't simply about funding or class size, but may relate to instructional strategies and attendance support. For parents, the key takeaway is that Hoover offers strong early elementary instruction and dedicated resources, but families should be aware of the academic slide in upper grades and the significant absenteeism rate that can disrupt learning.
