Hoover Elementary

Hoover Elementary sits in West Oakland, a neighborhood with deep roots and a strong sense of identity that's been drawing longtime residents and newcomers alike. The school's math scores show some bright spots relative to its overall standing, and families who are committed to being part of a school community rather than just passing through it will find a place where their involvement can make a real difference. For families drawn to Oakland's gritty creativity and cultural richness — and who want to be active partners in their child's education rather than passive observers — Hoover offers that kind of ground-level opportunity.
