Summary

Hoover Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Yakima, Washington, serving 582 students in an area with substantial economic need. Located in the Yakima School District, Hoover has a 15.9:1 student–teacher ratio and reported $21,474 in per-student spending in 2023–2024, the highest among the nearby schools reviewed. In 2024–2025, 94.33% of students qualified for free or reduced-price lunch. Hoover ranks around the 10th percentile statewide, although its ranking has improved from the 3rd percentile in 2021–2022.

Academic results remain below state averages and are uneven by subject and grade. In 2025–2026, 21.55% of students were proficient in English language arts, 22.48% in math, and 31.52% in science, compared with Washington rates of 52.81%, 43.11%, and 50.95%. Math was slightly above the district average, but ELA and science were below it. Third grade is the clearest area of concern: only 6.86% of third graders were proficient in ELA and 11.65% in math, compared with 32.61% and 29.35% by fifth grade. ELA and science also declined in the latest year after earlier improvement. Among nearby schools, Nob Hill Elementary School and Robertson Elementary posted stronger results, while Hoover outperformed some schools in individual subjects.

Parents may also want to consider Hoover’s subgroup results, particularly the 3rd-percentile rankings for special education and female students and the 7th-percentile ranking for English Language Learners. These results point to a need for focused support in literacy, math, multilingual services, special education, and consistent science instruction. For a nearby contrast, Union Gap School reported 45.11% ELA, 39.94% math, and 51.89% science proficiency, substantially higher than Hoover, though it serves a different grade span and district. Hoover’s improving long-term rank and relatively high spending provide a foundation for progress, but recent results suggest that gains are not yet consistent.
