Hoover City Schools is proud to announce that the district has earned an A on the 2025 Alabama State Report Card, maintaining last year’s record-high score of 95 for the second year in a row. This continued achievement reflects the dedication of our students, teachers, staff, and families and reinforces the district’s commitment to supporting strong academic growth across the district.

The Hoover City Schools leadership team is proud of our faculty and staff for going above and beyond to review student data, find areas for improvement, and put strategies in place to help every student grow academically each year.
