Summary:

Holiday Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jacksonville, Florida, serving 489 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Duval School District, which is ranked 54 out of 68 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Compared to nearby schools, Holiday Hill has a more diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White (44.38%) and Asian (7.98%) students. Academically, the school outperforms the Duval district and state averages in several areas, including 5th grade science proficiency (56% vs. 49% district, 53% state), 3rd grade ELA proficiency (55% vs. 49% district, 55% state), and 5th grade ELA proficiency (55% vs. 46% district, 55% state). However, the school faces challenges with a higher chronic absenteeism rate (35.5%) compared to the state average, though it is lower than some nearby schools like Woodland Acres Elementary (62.1%) and Southside Estates Elementary (51.2%).

While Holiday Hill has maintained a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger for several years, it lags behind high-performing charter schools in the area, such as River City Science Elementary Academy, which has consistently earned 4-5 star ratings and higher test scores. Additionally, the school's lower percentage of free/reduced lunch recipients (47.24%) compared to nearby schools suggests differences in the socioeconomic backgrounds of the student populations, which may contribute to the observed academic performance disparities.

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.
