Holley Central School District

The Holley Central School District in New York serves students from two schools: Holley Elementary School and Holley Junior Senior High School. The district faces some challenges, but also has areas of strength, particularly at the elementary school level.

Holley Elementary School stands out for its strong performance in the early grades, with students outperforming district and state averages in both English Language Arts and Math proficiency rates for grades 3-6. In contrast, Holley Junior Senior High School has a high graduation rate of 92.1%, but also faces a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 38.9%, which warrants further investigation and targeted interventions.

Both schools serve a predominantly white student population, with relatively low percentages of minority students. However, over 50% of students at each school receive free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting significant socioeconomic challenges in the district. The district's ability to address these challenges and build on the elementary school's academic strengths could be key to improving overall student outcomes.
