Holly Hill Elementary School

Summary:

Holly Hill Elementary School is a public elementary school in Amelia, Ohio, serving 421 students in grades PK-5 as part of the West Clermont Local School District. While the school has a higher percentage of white students compared to nearby schools, it faces several challenges, including a significantly higher chronic absenteeism rate and lower test scores than the district and state averages.

Holly Hill Elementary's test scores lag behind other schools in the area, with only 50% of 3rd-grade students proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 70% for the district and 62.1% for the state. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the years, from 941 out of 1,687 Ohio elementary schools in 2013-2014 to 792 out of 1,577 in 2023-2024, with a consistent 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's performance varies among different student subgroups, with female students and special education or low socioeconomic status students performing better than the state average.

While Holly Hill is part of the same school district as nearby schools like Summerside Elementary, Willowville Elementary School, and Clough Pike Elementary School, its performance lags behind these schools in terms of test scores, chronic absenteeism, and statewide rankings. The high chronic absenteeism rate and lower-than-average test scores may be related to factors such as the school's relatively low spending per student compared to the surrounding schools.

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.
