Summary

Hollingers Island Elementary School is a small, PK-5 public school in Mobile, AL, serving 255 students within the Mobile County school district, where roughly 70% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

This school has seen a dramatic shift in its academic standing over the past decade. Once ranked in the 75th percentile statewide (4 stars) in 2015-2016, it has fallen to the 27th percentile (1 star) by 2025-2026. The most striking pattern is a clear grade-level divide. In the most recent school year, 3rd graders scored 40.6% proficient in math and 56.3% in English—both above the district average. However, those same skills drop off sharply in upper grades: 4th-grade math proficiency falls to just 14.6%, and 5th-grade math sits at 17.2%. This isn't a one-year fluke; the pattern has persisted across multiple years, suggesting a systemic challenge as students transition to more advanced curriculum. For comparison, nearby Kate Shepard Elementary School posts a 35.5% proficiency rate in 4th-grade math, and Nan Gray Davis Elementary School reaches 26.0%—both roughly double Hollingers Island's rate.

There are some bright spots worth noting. Chronic absenteeism is a genuine strength at 13.0%, nearly matching the state average and far better than nearby Morningside Elementary School (16.4%) or the HL Sonny Callahan School for the Deaf and Blind (24.0%). The school also spends more per student ($10,584) than several peers like Olive J Dodge Elementary School ($8,449), yet outcomes don't reflect that investment. For parents, the key takeaway is that Hollingers Island appears to build a strong foundation in early grades but struggles to maintain that momentum in 4th and 5th grade, particularly in math—an important factor to consider when planning for your child's upper elementary years.
