Holdingford Elementary outperforms both its district and the state in Math, Reading, and Science at the all-grade level in 2025–2026 and 2024–2025. In 2025–2026, Math was 63.7% versus 44.9% statewide, Reading 62.5% versus 48.6%, and Science 36.0% versus 25.5%. Math is the standout, exceeding the state by nearly 19 points that year and nearly 21 points the year before. At the grade level, 4th grade Math reached 81.2% and 3rd grade Math 78.7%, while 5th and 6th grade Math dipped to 48.2% and 46.0% — still above state averages. Reading was consistent across grades 3–6, ranging from 57.5% to 67.4%, and every reported grade-level score beat the state.
The school has been 4-star rated in each of the last three years, though its state rank slipped from the 87th percentile in 2023–2024 to 86th in 2024–2025 and 83rd in 2025–2026 (144 of 869 schools). All-grade proficiency also dipped modestly, by roughly 1.6 to 2.3 points in each subject, while district averages improved. Context is moderately favorable: a 13.7 student/teacher ratio and a 31.58% free/reduced lunch rate in 2024–2025, with results still above state levels. Areas to watch are upper-grade Math, the lower absolute Science proficiency, and the mild three-year ranking decline.
