Holling Heights Elementary School

Summary:

Holling Heights Elementary School is a public elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska, serving 335 students in grades PK-5. The school stands out for its diverse student population, higher rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, and lower student-teacher ratio compared to nearby schools in the Millard Public Schools district.

Holling Heights has a more racially diverse student body, with higher percentages of African American, Hispanic, and Pacific Islander students than the surrounding schools. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is generally lower than the district and state averages, particularly in 5th-grade English Language Arts and Mathematics. This is in contrast to the nearby Willa Cather Elementary School and Ackerman Elementary School, which have less diverse student populations and lower free/reduced lunch rates, but tend to outperform Holling Heights academically.

Despite the lower overall academic performance, Holling Heights has shown exceptional results in certain student subgroups, ranking 1st out of 90 Nebraska elementary schools for Hispanic students and 6th out of 76 for English Language Learner students in recent years. The school's ranking has fluctuated over time, suggesting inconsistent performance compared to other schools in the state. With its unique student demographics, lower student-teacher ratio, and higher spending per student, Holling Heights Elementary School offers a distinct educational experience within the Millard Public Schools 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.
