Holly Hills Elementary School

Summary:

Holly Hills Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-3 in Westampton, New Jersey, with a student population of 394. The school is part of the Westampton Township Public School District, which is ranked 433 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holly Hills Elementary has a relatively diverse student population, with 32.74% White, 27.92% African American, 17.51% Hispanic, and 9.14% Asian students. This diversity is higher compared to some nearby schools like Twin Hills Elementary (6.05% White, 68.3% African American) and Hawthorne Park Elementary (2.3% White, 69.64% African American). Academically, the school has shown mixed performance, with 41% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 42.3% in Mathematics, on par with the district but below the state averages. However, the school has seen improvement in some areas, such as 4th-grade English Language Arts proficiency.

One notable concern is Holly Hills Elementary's high chronic absenteeism rate, which has increased from 6.2% in 2018-2019 to 22.9% in 2021-2022, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools like Eastampton Township Community School (14.6%) and Fleetwood Elementary (14.5%). Despite these challenges, the school has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 18.78%, compared to some nearby schools with higher rates of economically disadvantaged students.

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.
