Summary

Holiday Hill Elementary School is a mid-sized elementary school in Jacksonville, FL, serving 460 students from Pre-K through 5th grade in the Duval district, which ranks in the bottom third of Florida districts. While the school has historically been a consistent 3-star performer, it has experienced a notable decline in recent years, dropping to a 2-star rating and falling to the 36th percentile statewide in the 2025-2026 school year. A major concern is the school's chronic absenteeism rate, which has more than doubled from 19.7% in 2019-2020 to a staggering 43.5% in 2023-2024—significantly higher than the state average of 31.4% and likely a primary driver of the school's declining academic performance.

Despite its recent struggles, Holiday Hill remains a relative academic bright spot in its immediate neighborhood, consistently outperforming most nearby traditional public schools like Woodland Acres Elementary School, Southside Estates Elementary School, Greenfield Elementary School, Arlington Elementary School, Englewood Elementary School, Hogan-Spring Glen Elementary School, and Love Grove Elementary School. For example, Holiday Hill's 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (52%) is significantly higher than the average of these seven schools (38%). The school also serves a slightly more affluent population, with 42.4% of students qualifying for free or reduced lunch compared to 52% to 65% at its neighbors, and spends more per student ($14,012) than most nearby schools.

The most striking comparison is with River City Science Elementary Academy, a 4-star charter school less than a mile away that achieves proficiency rates roughly 30 percentage points higher than Holiday Hill in every subject and grade, despite serving a higher percentage of low-income students (57.7%) with significantly less funding per student ($8,925). This suggests that factors like school culture and instructional methods may be more impactful than spending alone. On a positive note, Holiday Hill's 5th-grade Science proficiency has been a consistent strength, outperforming the district average for four consecutive years, indicating an area of instructional excellence that could be replicated in other subjects.
