Summary

Hoover Middle is a 6th–8th grade school with 404 students in the northeast heights of Albuquerque, part of Albuquerque Public Schools.

Hoover Middle is currently a 4-star school, ranked 48th of 191 middle schools in New Mexico — the 75th percentile — which is notable because its district as a whole sits near the middle of the state. Among the 11 nearby schools, it trails only two 5-star schools, Eisenhower Middle and Desert Ridge Middle, and it stands about 14 percentile points ahead of the next-closest neighbor, Renaissance Academy Charter School. Hoover students score 55.58% proficient in language arts and 39.49% in math, compared with 43.34% and 25.54% statewide — its math proficiency is roughly 1.55 times the state rate. Its eighth graders are its strongest group, with 64.57% proficient in ELA, 40.94% in math, and 48.82% in science.

Two things stand out for families. First, these results come with nearly all students from low-income households — about 100% qualify for free or reduced lunch — and low-income students have ranked in the 74th–78th percentile statewide for three years running. Second, the trend lines are moving up: math proficiency has climbed from 31% to 32% to 35.53% to 39.49% over four reported years, science has rebounded sharply, and the student-teacher ratio has tightened from 14.5 to 12.7 while results rose. Worth watching: math still trails the top-tier neighbors, and special education and English learner students rank below the school's overall standing, though those groups are small and their year-to-year numbers swing widely.

Wednesday, August 24, 2011

Avoid this school. There is a serious lack of leadership. The Principal cares more about cats than kids! Parents voices are not heard. The faculty turns the other way when there is serious bullying taking place. The chaos prevents learning. Close Quote
