Summary:

Holloway Elementary is a public elementary school in Mobile, Alabama, serving 498 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Mobile County School District, which is ranked 96 out of 137 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Holloway Elementary faces significant academic challenges, consistently ranking in the bottom quarter of Alabama elementary schools over the past 10 years. The school has a much higher percentage of African American students (94.78%) compared to nearby schools, which range from 40.7% to 100% African American. Holloway's proficiency rates in math, science, and English language arts are consistently lower than the Mobile County and Alabama state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, only 29.49% of 3rd graders at Holloway were proficient in math, compared to 30.58% in Mobile County and 42.16% statewide. Additionally, Holloway has an extremely high percentage of students (97.79% in 2022-2023) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

Interestingly, the nearby schools, such as Florence Howard Elementary, Grant Elementary, and Old Shell Road Magnet School, generally perform better academically than Holloway Elementary, with higher rankings and test scores. This suggests that the challenges faced by Holloway Elementary may be unique to the school or its specific student population. Additionally, Holloway's African American students and special education students perform significantly worse than their peers in the state, while the school's homeless students have performed relatively well, ranking in the top quarter of Alabama schools for this subgroup in recent years.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
