Summary:
The city of Holly Hill, Florida has only one school, Holly Hill School, which serves grades PK-8 and has a total enrollment of 1,149 students. The school is part of the Volusia District, which is ranked 36 out of 68 districts in Florida and is rated 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.
Holly Hill School does not appear to be a standout school, as it has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Florida elementary schools, with a ranking of 2159 out of 2256 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a diverse student population, with a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (78.85%), indicating a high level of economic disadvantage. Additionally, the school's test scores are significantly lower than the Volusia District and Florida state averages across all subject areas and grade levels, with only 26% of 3rd grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 54% in the Volusia District and 55% statewide.
The combination of low test scores, high chronic absenteeism (43.2%), and high levels of economic disadvantage suggests that Holly Hill School may benefit from targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of its student population and improve student outcomes. While the school's spending per student ($10,901) is slightly higher than the state average, and its student-teacher ratio (15.8) is slightly lower, these factors alone have not been enough to overcome the persistent challenges facing the school.
