Holloway High School

Summary:

Holloway High School is a public high school located in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, serving grades 9-12 with a relatively small student population of 120 students. Despite its small size, the school faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, statewide ranking, and student subgroup outcomes.

Holloway High School consistently underperforms compared to the Rutherford County and Tennessee state averages across various subject areas and grade levels. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 32.4% of Holloway High School students were proficient or better in TNReady/Biology I, compared to 53.6% in Rutherford County and 45.3% statewide. Additionally, Holloway High School has a low statewide ranking, placing between 194 and 315 out of 300-384 Tennessee high schools over the past 10 years, and has received a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lower-performing high schools in the state. The school's performance is particularly concerning for certain student subgroups, such as African American students and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds.

Interestingly, Holloway High School's performance is significantly lower than that of other high schools in the Rutherford County district, such as Stewarts Creek High School, Smyrna High School, Rockvale High School, Siegel High School, Blackman High School, and Oakland High School, which consistently outperform Holloway High School on academic measures and have higher statewide rankings. The school's small size, declining enrollment, and lower performance compared to nearby schools in the district suggest the need for a comprehensive review and implementation of targeted interventions to improve educational outcomes for its 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.
