Summary:

Holly Ridge Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Rayville, Louisiana, with a student population of 208. The school is part of the Richland Parish school district, which is ranked 83 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holly Ridge Elementary consistently outperforms the Richland Parish and Louisiana state averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. The school also has a more racially diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with 80.77% White, 14.42% African American, and 4.96% other races. However, Holly Ridge Elementary has a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 62.02% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

Over the past several years, Holly Ridge Elementary has steadily improved its statewide ranking, moving from the bottom quartile of Louisiana elementary schools in 2015-2016 to the middle quartile in 2023-2024. While the school performs well overall, there are some disparities in the performance of different student subgroups. Additionally, nearby schools in Franklin Parish, such as Baskin School and Crowville School, have similar or higher proficiency rates in some subject areas, suggesting that there may be opportunities for Holly Ridge to learn from the practices of these higher-performing schools.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
