We have a kindergartener and a third grader (who has attended since K) at Hoover and we love it!! The teachers we’ve had are absolutely amazing!!

The lack of structure and integrity is easily seen as my child's valuable time is wasted. The years that will shape my child entire life is being filled with time on a cellphone. Breaks from classwork to eat sugary snacks through the entire day are noticed. Teachers are allowed to use the internet in immature, inappropriate, insensitive ways such as intentionally distracting my child by playing emotional scenes from Marley and Me, involving the death of a dog as my child is trying to learn Earth Science. Instead of my child learning during their chores lessons, the lessons are repeatedly canceled and my child is not given make up work, but rather is allowed free time in place of where they should be learning. Also possible that some students are getting more attention than others because of this unpredictable lesson inattentiveness. Children could be failing multiple classes, and they are allowed to stay on their phones during study hall, rather than an adult helping and guiding the student towards a better outcome. They are simply allowed to just be on their phone.

This school is horrible. I had to leave due to the lack of support I had frim anyone. Staff does nothing to stop the bullying. Kids with 504 and even IEPs are still not getting the right education, they disregard everything. This school worries so much about how they look but why don’t care about their students. please if you have other options, choose those.
