Summary

Hoover High School is a 9–12 comprehensive high school at 525 7th St NE in North Canton, Ohio, serving 1,502 students as the only high school in the North Canton City district. It is a stable, top-decile school: in 2025–2026 it ranked 70th of 795 Ohio high schools — about the top 9% — with five stars, and it has never fallen below the 88th percentile since 2019–2020. Its district ranks 64th of 773 statewide.

Results here are broad-based rather than concentrated at the top. Hoover beats the state average by roughly 19–24 points in every tested subject, and its 98.1% graduation rate is second only to Jackson High School (98.4%) among nearby schools, and well above GlenOak High School (93.2%) and McKinley High School (80.9%). Low-income and special-education students each rank in the 91st–95th percentile statewide — at or above the school's own overall rank — which suggests Hoover is not achieving its results by serving only its strongest students. Gifted and talented students ranked 3rd in Ohio in 2024–2025, the most exceptional figure in the data. Staffing is also comparatively generous at 16.9 students per teacher, versus 19.2 to 22.6 for Green High School, Lake Middle / High School, Jackson and GlenOak.

Two areas are worth watching. Geometry is the clear academic soft spot: 63.2% proficiency in 2025–2026, roughly 10–15 points behind Green (74.4), Lake (78.3) and Jackson (73.4) — even though Hoover matches or leads those same schools in American History, Biology and English II. Geometry has stayed flat in the low-to-mid 60s for four straight years. Second, chronic absenteeism runs 17.9%, consistently 4–5 points above its own district and higher than GlenOak's 16.1% even though GlenOak serves a much larger low-income population. It is still better than Green's 20.3% and Lake's 19.2%, and has improved from 20.7% in 2021–2022.
