5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a parent of two students at Hoover middle school. Though the test scores are low I have seen a high amount of "personal fraternization" between staff, especially from the library media teachers, speaking openly about subjects non- "professionally appropriate" for a school zone, in my opinion. Higher focus on student learning would be nice.Parent Review11y ago - Luther Burbank Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is amazing. Definitely has some of the best teachers you can find. Mr. Abejuela has a pull-up bar in his classroom and challenges students not only mentally but physically. Mr. Dissalvo always presents both sides to any argument so we could form our own opinions and even let us debate in the middle of class often. Mr. Wendel wrote a song and sang it with his guitar for our class at the end of the year, it was hilarious! Mr. Graham was an amazing science teacher and made learning about moles and the periodic table interesting. Ms. Alvarez was the most passionate teacher who ensured that each and every student had the help they needed to pass her class. Finally, Mr. Rivero always had a smile on his face and being in his class, even during Saturday school, brought happiness.Student Review3y ago
