Summary:

Sanders Elementary School is ranked in the bottom 20% of Mississippi elementary schools and has consistently low proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to state averages. Simmons High School is ranked in the bottom 20% of Mississippi high schools and has mixed performance on end-of-course exams, with a particularly low proficiency rate in English II. Simmons Junior High School is ranked in the bottom 35% of Mississippi middle schools and also has low proficiency rates across all grade levels.
Across the district, all three schools are rated 1 or 2 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating poor overall performance. Additionally, the Hollandale School District as a whole is ranked 101 out of 130 school districts in Mississippi, placing it in the bottom 25%. The district faces significant challenges, including high rates of poverty and chronic absenteeism, which may be contributing to the consistently low academic performance observed in these schools.
