New Holland Knowledge Academy

Q: Is New Holland Knowledge Academy a good school?

New Holland Knowledge Academy ranks 753 rd of 1248 Georgia elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

New Holland Knowledge Academy is an elementary school in Gainesville, Georgia, serving 548 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Gainesville City School District.

The school has consistently underperformed compared to the district and state averages on the Milestones Assessment, with only 25% of 3rd graders, 10.3% of 4th graders, and 40.7% of 5th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts in the 2023-2024 school year. New Holland Knowledge Academy has been ranked in the bottom half of Georgia elementary schools and has received a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, except for two years when it received a 1-star rating. The school also has a very high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.76% to 84.36% in recent years, significantly higher than the state average.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Enota Multiple Intelligences Academy, which is also in the Gainesville City district, New Holland Knowledge Academy is clearly underperforming academically. The school's academic performance has also declined over the years, as evidenced by its decreasing state rankings and the drop in proficiency rates on the Milestones Assessments. These findings suggest that the school and the district may need to implement strategic interventions and allocate resources to address the unique challenges faced by the school community.

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.
