St Margaret Mary 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.

I have had 4 kids go to school here. They are absolutely amazing they work so hard to work with me and my children 3 of who have had ieps thru them. And one who started having behavioral issues. I couldn't sit here and praise them more than the joy and pride I feel in my younger 2 who still go their in knowing they are well taken care of mental emotional and with their disabilities or behavioral issues. They try to make you feel welcomed in coming to them if your having an issue and work hard to accommodate every child with what they are going thru. Thank you to the staff here our family absolutely loves you guys and appreciate everything you guys do for us and every other family.

This is one of the best schools I've ever seen. I love this school.

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.
