Very uneducated staff and leadership regarding special needs, emotional regulation, mental health, medical needs. Sub par policies re:bullying. Principal is only concerned with keeping numbers up, not the actual emotional or mental health of students. Diverted parental concerns on many occasions, dodging state and federal law regarding equal education and IDEA. Children would get hurt at recess and parents are never notified. Staff would call children names for speaking up against bullying or unsafe behavior. Several times when picking up child for appointment, different child with similar name was brought to office. Attendance is glorified regardless of health. Security of school is questionable. Support staff is unkind amd inappropriate with students with special needs. School brags about sensory accommodations but rarely implements and has zero understanding of modern neurodivergent research. Our child was behind an entire grade level and principal insisted that they still be moved up to next grade. We moved from the city because of the principals negligence with our children.

My grandson started here at Hoover last year, His teacher is Mrs. Taylor; I have to say she should be given teacher of the year award this year and for every year she has taught; she is the most kindest, warm hearted teacher I have ever met with Jake, his kindergarden teacher was a bully, his first grade not much better; since this jake has not done well in school, he has not cared about school until he met Mrs. Taylor. She has turned his school life around 100%. He reads, he cares about math and he loves school because one good teacher does make a difference, so thank you Mrs. Taylor and GOD BLESS YOU.

All 3 of our daughters either have or are currently attending Hoover. We feel the staff has the students' best interests in mind regardless of any challenges. The facilities are newly updated, accommodating, and top notch.
