Summary

Hoben Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Canton, Michigan, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 465 students. It is part of the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district, which is ranked 90 out of 613 school districts in Michigan and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoben Elementary School has shown mixed academic performance compared to the district and state averages. While its 3rd-grade proficiency rates in ELA (49.3%) and Math (54.1%) were lower than the district (57.7% and 60.5%) and state (38.9% and 42.7%) averages, the school's 4th-grade proficiency rates in ELA (65%) and Math (70%) were higher. However, Hoben has experienced a concerning increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 16.9% in 2021-2022 to 30.8% in 2022-2023, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. The school's performance varies across different student subgroups, ranking highly for English Language Learners but lower for Asian and White students.

Hoben Elementary performs similarly to other schools in the Plymouth-Canton Community Schools district, such as Eriksson Elementary and Miller Elementary, which also have mixed academic performance and high chronic absenteeism rates. However, the district's magnet schools, Dodson Elementary and Gallimore Elementary, consistently outperform Hoben and the district averages. Addressing the chronic absenteeism issue and targeting academic support for underperforming student groups could be key focus areas for Hoben Elementary to improve its overall performance.
