Dixie M. Hollins High School has a relatively diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 49.95% White, 12.51% African American, 22.06% Hispanic, and 10.21% Asian. This diversity is higher than some nearby schools, such as Osceola Fundamental High, which has a student population that is 74.17% White. The school has also maintained a strong four-year graduation rate, ranging from 92.0% to 97.1% over the past few years, which is higher than the state and district averages. However, Dixie M. Hollins High School has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 28.3% in 2018-2019 to 43.5% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the state and district averages, as well as most of the nearby schools.

For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Algebra 1 (18%) and 10th grade English Language Arts (42%) were significantly below the state and district averages. This is in contrast to some of the nearby high-performing schools, such as St. Petersburg Collegiate High School, which have much higher test scores and graduation rates. Addressing the chronic absenteeism and equity issues at Dixie M. Hollins High School could be crucial for improving the school's academic outcomes and providing a high-quality education for all its students.

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.
