Holland Elementary

Summary:

Holland Elementary is a public elementary school located in Springfield, Missouri, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 233 students. The school is part of the Springfield R-XII district, which is ranked 182 out of 386 districts in Missouri and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holland Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a ranking between 599-865 out of over 1,000 schools in recent years. The school's performance on state assessments (MAP tests) is generally below the district and state averages, particularly in mathematics, with only 38.3% of 3rd graders proficient or better in 2023-2024, compared to 32.7% for the district and 40.8% for the state. However, Holland Elementary performs better in English Language Arts (ELA), with 53.8% of 3rd graders and 41% of 5th graders proficient or better. The school also has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 78.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023. Interestingly, while the school's overall performance is below average, its ranking for low-socioeconomic status students is much higher, indicating that the school is doing a relatively good job of supporting this student population.

When comparing Holland Elementary to nearby schools within the same district, it generally performs worse on state assessments, particularly in mathematics. However, some nearby schools, such as Cowden Elementary and Sunshine Elementary, have similar demographics and performance levels, suggesting that Holland Elementary's challenges may be shared by other schools serving a high-needs population. Additionally, Holland Elementary has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 25.9% to 38.7% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages. Addressing this issue could be a key priority for the school and district.

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.
