Summary

Hoover School is an elementary school located in Lincoln Park School District, serving 280 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently outperforms the district and state in academic proficiency, particularly for Hispanic and low-socioeconomic students.

Hoover School's performance is a bright spot within the Lincoln Park School District, which is ranked 456 out of 613 districts in Michigan and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. In 2024-2025, 40.5% of Hoover's 3rd graders were proficient in ELA, compared to 30.4% for the district and 38.9% for the state. The school's Hispanic student subgroup also ranks among the top 63 out of 209 Michigan elementary schools. However, Hoover School faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 50.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, while Hoover School outperforms other schools in the Lincoln Park district, such as James Foote School and Earl F Carr School, some nearby schools in the Allen Park Public Schools district, like Arno Elementary School and Lindemann Elementary School, significantly outperform Hoover School in academic proficiency. The high per-student spending at Hoover School, ranging from $22,086 to $29,676, suggests the district is allocating significant resources to support student learning, but the chronic absenteeism issue may be impacting the school's overall performance.
