Summary

Hollinger K-8 School is a public elementary school in Tucson, Arizona, serving grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 598 students. The school is part of the Tucson Unified District, which is ranked 208 out of 289 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Hollinger K-8 School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools, with a ranking between 578 and 905 over the past 10 years, and a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hollinger K-8 School consistently underperforms compared to the Tucson Unified District and the state of Arizona in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, only 13% of 8th-grade students at Hollinger K-8 were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 26% in the district and 40% statewide. The school also has relatively high dropout rates, ranging from 3.9% to 6.6% over the past few years, which are higher than the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with the school ranking relatively well for Native American students but struggling with Hispanic, English Language Learner, and Special Education students, ranking in the bottom 25% of Arizona schools for these subgroups.

The nearby schools in the Tucson Unified District, such as Holladay Intermediate Magnet School, Lynn Urquides, and Ochoa Elementary School, also struggle academically, with most ranking in the bottom half of Arizona elementary schools. This suggests that the challenges faced by Hollinger K-8 School may be systemic within the district. Additionally, the school's per-student spending has decreased from $10,386 in 2018-2019 to $7,429 in 2019-2020, and the student-teacher ratio has increased from 15.1 in 2023-2024 to 19.5 in 2022-2023, indicating potential resource constraints that may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.
