Summary

Hoover Elementary is a public elementary school in New Berlin, Wisconsin, serving 327 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District, which is ranked 395 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hoover Elementary's academic performance, as measured by the Forward Exam, is generally below the state and district averages across various grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the percentage of Hoover Elementary students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 40.91% to 42.5%, compared to the state average of 51.26% to 52.21%. In mathematics, Hoover Elementary's proficiency rates ranged from 24.44% to 60%, while the state average was 52.58% to 55%. The school's performance is particularly low in 5th-grade mathematics, where only 24.44% of students were proficient or better, compared to the state average of 52.58%. Additionally, Hoover Elementary has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 9.5% to 24.5% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state average.

While Hoover Elementary's academic performance is generally lower than the nearby Walker Elementary and Franklin Elementary schools in the West Allis-West Milwaukee School District, it appears to be providing targeted support for specific student subgroups, such as African American and Hispanic students. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Hoover Elementary's African American students ranked 47th out of 144 Wisconsin elementary schools in English Language Arts, and its Hispanic students ranked 122nd out of 322 schools. However, the school's academic performance has not shown a corresponding improvement, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as student engagement, teacher quality, and school leadership, may be more significant in driving student outcomes.
