Summary

Hoben Elementary School is a K-5 public school in Canton, MI, serving 443 students as part of the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district, which is highly rated statewide.

Hoben has made a remarkable leap in academic performance, jumping from the 71st to the 82nd percentile in state rankings over the past year—a gain of 159 places. This upward trend is especially notable given that about 25% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, a higher percentage than nearby top performers like Tonda Elementary School (14%) or Dodson Elementary School (20%). Despite this, Hoben's economically disadvantaged students rank in the 89th percentile statewide—a standout achievement that rivals or exceeds the overall performance of local charter schools like South Canton Scholars Charter Academy and Canton Charter Academy, which serve higher percentages of low-income families.

Parents should know that Hoben excels in 5th-grade science, with 64% proficiency—well above the district (56%) and state (40%) averages, and even surpassing Tonda's 54%. However, there's a notable "5th-grade slump" in math: proficiency drops from 57% in 3rd grade to 43% in 5th grade, lagging behind the district average of 48% and peers like Dodson (59%) and Tonda (58%). Chronic absenteeism (15%) is better than the district (19%) and state (28%) averages but higher than Tonda's 8%, suggesting attendance is an area for continued focus. Overall, Hoben is an improving, equitable school that delivers strong results for its diverse student body, though families may want to ask about math support as students approach middle school.
