Summary

Hollywood Elementary School is a small, rural school in Hollywood, AL, serving 184 students from Pre-K through 8th grade as part of the Jackson County district. While the school offers a favorable student-teacher ratio of 14.7 and spends more per student ($12,708) than any nearby school, its academic performance has declined sharply over the past four years, dropping from a 3-star to a 1-star rating.

The most significant concern is mathematics proficiency, particularly in the middle grades. In the most recent testing year, 6th grade math proficiency was 0%, compared to district and state averages around 35%. Fifth grade math (7.69%) and 8th grade math (16.67%) also lag far behind. This is especially striking when compared to Dutton Elementary School, just 8.4 miles away, which serves a similar student population but achieves dramatically better results—Dutton's 8th grade math proficiency is 66.67% and its 5th grade English proficiency is 85% versus Hollywood's 38.46%. English scores at Hollywood are closer to district averages, but still consistently below them. There is one bright spot: 7th grade math (45.45%) actually exceeds both district and state averages, showing that strong math instruction is possible at this school.

On a positive note, chronic absenteeism has improved significantly, dropping from 17.7% to 10.8% over two years—now better than both district and state averages. However, this improvement hasn't yet translated into academic gains. The school's small class sizes (likely 10-20 students per grade) contribute to volatile year-to-year test scores, making it hard to distinguish genuine trends from cohort-specific variations. For parents considering this school, the comparison to Dutton Elementary suggests that the challenges at Hollywood are not inevitable—they may be addressable through changes in instructional approach and school leadership.
