Summary

Hoover Elementary School is a K–5 school in Salem, Oregon, enrolling 402 students in Salem-Keizer School District 24J, where 88.31% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025.

For 2025–2026, Hoover ranked 633rd of 709 Oregon elementary schools — the 11th percentile, or 1 star. All-grade proficiency was 27% in English language arts, 21% in math, and 6.8% in science, all below district and state averages. Science is the clearest weakness: 6.8% is less than a third of the state's 30.6% and near the bottom among nearby same-district schools, with only Auburn Elementary School (5.7%) and Richmond Elementary School (6.0%) lower. By contrast, 5th grade math (21.9%) slightly edges the district's 21.2%. Among nearby same-district schools, Hoover ranks above Four Corners Elementary School, Swegle Elementary School, Washington Elementary School, Highland Elementary School, and Bush Elementary School, but below Grant Community School and Englewood Elementary School.

Chronic absenteeism was 41.2% in 2024–2025 — below the district's 43.1% but above the state's 33.5%, and similar to most nearby same-district schools (Grant at 32.4% to Richmond at 49.1%). Relative effectiveness varies by group: Hoover ranks in the 35th percentile for English Language Learner students, 33rd for Special Education students, 14th for low-SES students, and 8th for female students, with recent declines for ELL and low-SES students. Per-student spending was $20,609 with a 19.6 student-teacher ratio — below-average spending and larger classes than most same-district peers. The school has improved from the 1st–2nd percentile in 2016–2019 to the 11th–13th percentile in 2023–2026. Nearby Eagle Charter School, at the 90th percentile with 64.67% free/reduced lunch and 14.4% chronic absenteeism, shows the size of the gap.
