Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary consistently ranks in the top 25% of South Carolina elementary schools, with students performing significantly better than the state and district averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. For example, in 2023-2024, 68% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA and Math, compared to 54.1% and 54.5% for the district, and 53.8% and 54.5% for the state. The school's performance is particularly strong in Mathematics, with 6th-grade students outperforming the district and state by over 10 percentage points in 2022-2023. Despite having a relatively high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds (69.1%), Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary ranks in the top 10% of South Carolina elementary schools for this subgroup, indicating that the school is effectively supporting its disadvantaged students.

While the student population at Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary is predominantly White (84.27%), this does not appear to be a significant factor in the school's academic performance. The school's strong results across all student subgroups suggest that it is providing a high-quality education regardless of the racial composition of its student body. In comparison, nearby schools like Chandler Creek Elementary and Crestview Elementary have more balanced racial representations, but do not necessarily outperform Holly Springs-Motlow Elementary in academic measures.

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.
