Hollingers Island Elementary School

Summary:

Hollingers Island Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Mobile, Alabama, with a student population of 291. The school is part of the Mobile County school district, which is ranked 96 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hollingers Island Elementary stands out for its higher percentage of white students (82.82%) compared to nearby schools, which tend to have a majority African American student population. The school generally performs better than the Mobile County and Alabama averages on state assessments, particularly in English/Language Arts. However, its ranking among Alabama elementary schools has declined over the past several years, from a high of 170 out of 691 in 2015-2016 to 355 out of 684 in 2023-2024. The school also struggles with its special education and low-income student populations, ranking 295 out of 395 and 338 out of 670, respectively, for those subgroups.

Compared to the nearby schools, such as Olive J Dodge Elementary School, Morningside Elementary School, and Maryvale Elementary School, Hollingers Island has a much higher percentage of white students and a lower percentage of economically disadvantaged students. However, its test scores are generally on par with or slightly better than the surrounding schools, which tend to have lower-performing student populations. The school's higher spending per student, at $10,584 in 2018-2019, may contribute to its relatively stronger academic performance.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
