Lakeview Elementary School

Hoover School has always been a very special place. It gets a bad rap from sites like this. The school has the highest population of SES and IEP students in the district. This effects the overall scoring of the students. Hoover has produced 3 perfect ACT scoring students in the last 6 years! The teaching staff and principal are nothing short of incredible. Their dedication, support and love of education is infectious! Unfortunately the district(Mary Pfieffer) fought hard to close this school in 2024. The reasoning behind it was weak and riddled with hidden agendas. Once the vote was squeaked through, the top two district administrators bailed ship fast. It's a shame this wonderful school is being shuttered for such ridiculous reasons.

This school has an outdated culture of powerless students. As a parent of a student that has attended Wilson for over three years, I have witnessed teachers berating students several times, resistance to collaboration, and a general apathy about forward thinking. Many classrooms are drab, the staff's attire is often sloppy, and playground equipment has been broken for over a year. While my child does well overall, he struggles in a few subjects. As an educator myself with four older children, I have yet to convince the teacher that my child needs additional help. The top down culture at this facility is in need of a change to raise the level of the staff to a place that will ensure these children are prepared for today's world.

St. Mary Catholic School System is not a good place to work. Very unethical administration, low pay, and little to no support for students with special needs. I would not recommend.

We have been with this school since 3K and have been very happy over the past years.
