John P Holland Charter School School District

The John P. Holland Charter School is the sole school in the John P Holland Charter School School District in New Jersey, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 8th grade. With a total enrollment of 742 students, the school faces some challenges, including a declining statewide ranking and mixed academic performance across grade levels.

The school's statewide ranking has dropped from 914 out of 1,347 New Jersey elementary schools in 2024-2025 to 996 out of 1,342 in 2022-2023, suggesting its performance may be worsening compared to other schools in the state. While the school excels in certain areas, such as 7th grade ELA scores that are well above the state average, it struggles in others, like 8th grade Math scores that are only 20% proficient, compared to the state average of 20.7%. Additionally, the school has a high rate of free and reduced-price lunch recipients at 75.47%, indicating a significant population of students from low-income families.

Despite these challenges, the John P. Holland Charter School also has some bright spots, such as strong ELA proficiency in certain grades. By focusing on improving its Math and Science proficiency rates, as well as addressing its high chronic absenteeism rate, the school may be able to enhance its overall performance and better support the needs of its diverse student population.
