Summary:
Zip code 57450 has three schools in Hoven School District 53-2, serving kindergarten through grade 12: Hoven Elementary (K–6), Hoven Junior High (grades 7–8), and Hoven High School (grades 9–12). The latest all-grades results are from 2025–2026, but the high school’s results for that year are suppressed. The clearest takeaway is that reported results differ notably between the elementary and junior high schools, so families will see different academic patterns depending on the grades their child attends.
Hoven Elementary leads the available 2025–2026 results: 59% of students were proficient in ELA and 65% in math, compared with 44% in both subjects at Hoven Junior High. That puts Elementary ahead by 16 percentage points in ELA and 21 in math. Elementary was above state rates by 10 points in ELA and 21 in math; Junior High was 5 points below the state in ELA and essentially level in math. In 2024–2025, Hoven High School stood out in ELA, at 86% versus 73% at Junior High and 55% at Elementary. Junior High led that year’s math results at 60%, compared with 58% at Elementary and 43% at High School. These are all-grades results for schools serving different grade spans, so they are not direct same-grade comparisons.
Recent changes go in opposite directions at Elementary and Junior High: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Elementary improved by 4 points in ELA and 7 in math, while Junior High declined by 30 and 16 points, respectively. SchoolDigger rated Junior High 5 stars in both 2023–2024 and 2024–2025; Elementary’s rating went from 4 stars in 2024–2025 to 2 in 2025–2026. Other context does not show a simple match with results: 2024–2025 student-teacher ratios ranged from 5.5 at High School to 9.7 at Junior High, and all three schools reported free/reduced lunch eligible figures that year, ranging from 29% to 33%. In 2025–2026, chronic absenteeism was 25% at Junior High versus 2% at Elementary and 20% statewide.
