Summary

Hoover Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With 338 students enrolled, Hoover Elementary faces significant challenges, including low academic achievement, high chronic absenteeism, and a high-poverty student population.

Hoover Elementary consistently underperforms compared to the Tulsa and Oklahoma state averages on standardized tests, with only 16% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 19% proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 26% state averages in both subjects. The school also has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 19% to 40% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, 83.43% of Hoover Elementary students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, much higher than the state average.

Despite spending $11,429 per student in 2018-2019, which is higher than the state average, Hoover Elementary continues to underperform academically and ranks in the bottom quartile of Oklahoma elementary schools, receiving only 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger. The school's performance has declined significantly over the past decade, dropping from a 4-star rating and top 20% ranking in 2008-2009. Hoover Elementary also struggles particularly with its White and low-socioeconomic status student populations, ranking in the bottom 10-20% of Oklahoma schools for these subgroups. Compared to nearby schools, Hoover Elementary performs significantly worse, with lower test scores, higher chronic absenteeism, and lower rankings, except for Skelly Elementary, which also faces academic challenges.
