Holladay Elementary

Summary:

Holladay Elementary is an alternative public school in Holladay, Tennessee, serving grades K-9 with a total enrollment of 129 students. The school is part of the Benton County School District, which is ranked 111 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holladay Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming the state and county averages across all subject areas and grade levels on the TNReady assessments. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics (9.5%) and English Language Arts (17.6%) were well below the state averages of 39.7% and 37.6%, respectively. However, the school performs relatively better in Science, with proficiency rates ranging from 28.4% to 52.2% across the years, closer to the state and county averages. Interestingly, Holladay Elementary has a higher per-student spending compared to the state average, at $13,322 per student in the 2020-2021 school year, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.

Comparing Holladay Elementary to the nearby Clarksburg School, located about 14 miles away, highlights the need for further investigation into the factors contributing to Holladay's underperformance. Clarksburg School outperforms Holladay Elementary across most subject areas and grade levels, despite having a higher student-teacher ratio. Additionally, Holladay Elementary's racial composition has become less diverse over time, with the percentage of white students increasing from 92.19% in 2020-2021 to 85.27% in 2022-2023, suggesting that factors beyond funding, such as curriculum, teaching quality, and student demographics, may be playing a role in the school's academic challenges.

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.
