Summary

Holly Ridge Elementary School is a PK-8 school in Rayville, LA, serving 232 students within the Richland Parish district, and it has achieved a remarkable turnaround over the past decade, rising from the bottom 10% of Louisiana schools to a solid mid-tier performer.

This school stands out for its exceptional academic performance relative to the district, with proficiency rates in 2025-2026 significantly higher than the district average in Mathematics (72% vs. 51%), English Language Arts (71% vs. 61%), and Social Studies (59% vs. 42%). Holly Ridge particularly excels in grades 6-8, where proficiency rates in all core subjects far exceed both district and state averages—for example, 87% of 7th graders are proficient in Math compared to 50% in the district. The school also demonstrates consistent effectiveness with economically disadvantaged students, earning a 3-star rating for this subgroup for three consecutive years. While Mangham Elementary School has a higher overall state rank (78th percentile), Holly Ridge is more well-rounded, showing balanced strength across subjects rather than focusing heavily on one area.

However, there are important challenges to note. The school has a critical weakness in 3rd Grade English Language Arts, with only 41% of students proficient in 2025-2026, well below the district (60%) and state (64%) averages. Chronic absenteeism has also risen sharply from 9.9% in 2021-2022 to 27.8% in 2024-2025, now exceeding both district and state averages. On a positive note, the school offers a favorable learning environment with a student-teacher ratio of 13.5, lower than nearby schools like Rayville Elementary School (18.3) and Delhi Elementary School (16.7), which likely supports the individualized attention that contributes to its strong upper-grade results.
