This School’s Reviews

5.0 Sophomore

3/16/2025

I've lived in Glendale, California my entire life, and all three of the schools I've gone to are on the same street. I chose to go to Hoover because of the early college program they offer, which is something I'm so grateful to have available. Although I think my school struggles with diversity among the overwhelmingly large Armenian population, I think being able to take college classes for free makes any issues worth it.

My experience at Herbert Hoover High School has been nothing but amazing. Besides having great academics Hoover also has good school culture including great teachers, fun school activities, and a lot of opportunities for growth.

3.0 Senior

2/16/2025

When you step into the school, it feels nice and you admire the cleanliness of the school. Something that should change is that there aren't any big consequences for those students who dont have any discipline and sometimes effects others in class.

Hoover High School fosters division and intolerance among ethnic groups by politicizing the campus and punishing students who challenge the status quo. This has been my experience as a parent of a student at the school, and alumni. If you’re child is not Armenian, they are likely going to get treate...

If you love your child, please don't send them here or any school in GUSD. There is no accountability from teacher's or staff. The focus is exactly what is being said in current board meetings. Classroom environments are now places that children are encouraged to engage in sexual relations and if yo...

Sometimes it’s okay, but most of the teachers are not good teachers. I had two out of seven teachers that I actually liked. Most of my teachers I disliked. Some give unreasonable expectations, or progress way too fast. A lot of the work feels like it’s only there to fill time. Homophobia is really b...
