John P Holland Charter School School District

The John P Holland Charter School School District in New Jersey consists of a single elementary school, John P. Holland Charter School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 688 students.

John P. Holland Charter School faces significant challenges in providing a high-quality education to its predominantly Hispanic (80.96%) and economically disadvantaged (99.56% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch) student population. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom quartile of New Jersey elementary schools, receiving a 1-star rating, and its academic performance on state assessments is generally below the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.8%, which is significantly higher than the state average.

Despite the school's slightly higher per-student spending compared to the state average, the data suggests that the school may need to examine how resources are being allocated and utilized to support student learning and academic success. Addressing the school's performance and demographic challenges, such as the high percentage of economically disadvantaged students and the chronic absenteeism rate, will be crucial in improving the educational outcomes for the students at John P. Holland Charter School.
