Summary

Holly Hill School is an elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Holly Hill, Florida, with a student population of 1,054. The school is part of the Volusia school district, which is ranked 28th out of 67 districts in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite the district's overall performance, Holly Hill School has consistently ranked in the bottom 10-15% of Florida elementary schools over the past decade, with a current ranking of 2079 out of 2258 schools. The school faces significant challenges, including significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates (ranging from 30.9% to 47.9%) compared to the district and state averages, as well as consistently lower test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 33-44% of Holly Hill students were proficient in English Language Arts and Math, compared to 55-63% at the district and state levels.

When comparing Holly Hill School to the nearby schools in the Volusia district, such as Champion Elementary, Pathways Elementary, and Ormond Beach Elementary, it becomes clear that Holly Hill is an outlier in terms of academic performance. These surrounding schools have significantly higher test scores, lower chronic absenteeism rates, and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school's relatively high per-student spending and the presence of higher-performing schools in the district suggest that with the right strategies and resources, Holly Hill School could potentially improve its academic outcomes and provide a better educational experience for its students.
