Hoover High School

Posted August 24, 2009

Hoover gets a bad reputation because we don't test very high on ITEDS. Which is stupid to base how good a school is on that. I'm a senior at Hoover this year and i love it. I love how diverse the school is and all the different oppurtunities we get because we're so diverse. Yes, some of the teachers won't go the extra mile, but every school has a couple of teachers like that. For the most part any teacher wil be there any time you need help. Some of them completely go out of their way to make sure that you pass their class and are on track to graduate. Hoover is a great school and everyone has such great school spirit. But i'm sick of having to defend myself and my school everytime i say i go to Hoover, just because it's Hoover.

Diversity is the key to Hoover's contribution to our son's education. He's a gifted student, and gets his opportunity to take college level clases at Hoover and at Central. But, let's face it, the world is more diverse than when it was in high school. He's learning to live and play and work with students of all backgrounds. That experience is a great teacher that won't show up on any SAT score or gov't report. And he gets to participate in anything he chooses.

Hoover is an outstanding school. It changed my life and I am so glad that I was able to go to school there. The teachers always do their best to help the students and make learning fun. I have never seen a school beaming with so much school pride and it is just an amazing atmosphere overall. I loved every minute I spent in that school and am so thankful for all of the wonderful memories. -Adam Haselhuhn Class of 2006

As a Hoover High School graduate, and pharmacy student, I can say that Hoover definitely prepared me to go out in to the real world. Regardless of the bad rap the school receives, Hoover has an excellent educational program and athletics program that is rivaled by few in the state. When I attended, the school had excellent diversity, and I had friends from all ethnic backgrounds, which is something that not many people can say. The teaching staff is excellent as well. Compared with my first high school (Bettendorf), the teaching staff is as good if not better when it comes to meeting the needs of the students. So to those that think Hoover is a horrible school, you are missing out on a great opportunity.
