Summary:
The Hollandale School District in Mississippi has only one elementary school, Sanders Elementary School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of Mississippi elementary schools over the past three years, indicating persistent challenges in academic achievement.
Sanders Elementary School's performance on state assessments is generally below the Hollandale School District and state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 11.5% to 58.4% across different grade levels and subject areas. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rate of 45.7% in 2024-2025 is the highest among the reported subject areas and grade levels. However, the school faces significant challenges, including a 100% free and reduced-price lunch rate, indicating a high-poverty student population, and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 23.9% in the 2022-2023 school year.
Overall, the data suggests that Sanders Elementary School is facing significant challenges in academic achievement and student engagement, which may be exacerbated by the high-poverty student population and chronic absenteeism. The school's consistently low rankings and performance compared to the district and state averages indicate a need for targeted interventions and support to improve student outcomes.
