I've been going to this school for almost three years, now. It's a decent school, with pretty good teachers. I agree with the other comments, the school should be organized better, and some of the students are a little... unpleasant. Overall it's really awesome.

I think Hoover is an all around great school. The music department is awesome because the teachers know their stuff and they make it fun everyday. Most of the core teachers are good, but some have problems with yelling. Mr.Blau, the new principal has made it a happier school and you can see that on the faces of the other principals.The echoes program contributes a lot.The sports in this school are awesome.I have been involved with volleyball for my 7th and 8th grade and it keeps getting better.I think this school has a lot to offer.

Music is always happening. The sports program here is pretty good. They always need money for it though, as I'm sure many schools do. Parents are involved, but you never see them with their 'involvment' but they help with fundraisers and what not. The core classes are of extremely high quality, but the afterschool echoes program could use some work. It just needs to be better organised. But I love this school. It's great everyday.
