Hollydale Elementary School

Summary:

Hollydale Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Marietta, Georgia, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 566 students. The school is part of the Cobb County School District, which is ranked 52 out of 203 districts in Georgia and is rated 4 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending compared to nearby schools like Cheatham Hill Elementary, Russell Elementary, and Clarkdale Elementary, Hollydale Elementary consistently underperforms in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 24.3% of 3rd graders, 28% of 4th graders, and 38.9% of 5th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Cobb County averages of 48.2%, 46%, and 57.9%, respectively. Additionally, Hollydale Elementary has a significantly higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 76.64% to 77.39% in recent years, much higher than the surrounding schools.

Despite the school's lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools, the academic performance of Hollydale Elementary remains significantly lower. This suggests that factors beyond just class size may be contributing to the school's underperformance, and a more comprehensive approach may be needed to address the underlying challenges the school faces, such as the high concentration of students from low-income families.

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.
