Summary

New Holland Leadership Academy is an elementary school in Gainesville, GA, serving 573 students in grades PK–5 within the Gainesville City district, where about 84% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

New Holland has shown steady improvement over the past decade, climbing from the 14th percentile statewide in 2018–2019 to the 38th percentile in 2025–2026—its second-best ranking in ten years. The school’s standout strength is its work with English Language Learners, ranking in the 68th percentile statewide for ELL outcomes, far above its overall ranking and better than any nearby school. Math is another bright spot: 3rd grade proficiency jumped from 24.4% to 47.4% in one year, nearly matching the state average and beating the district by nearly 13 points. Fourth and 5th grade math also outpaced the district average. Chronic absenteeism has dropped to 11.7%—the second-lowest among comparable schools and well below both the district (16.8%) and state (17.7%) averages. The school also performs above its overall ranking with African American (53rd percentile) and Hispanic (51st percentile) students.

Science remains the biggest challenge, with only 18.8% of 5th graders proficient—below the district (27.3%) and far below the state (44.2%). Still, New Holland outperforms several nearby schools, including Gainesville Exploration Academy and Fair Street International Academy (both at the 11th percentile) and Centennial Arts Academy (19th percentile). Its 3rd grade math scores also exceed those at McEver Elementary and Sandra Dunagan Deal Elementary in Hall County. With higher per-student spending ($14,853) and a favorable 14.6:1 student-teacher ratio, New Holland is a school on the rise—worth watching as it continues to close gaps.
