Summary

Holly Heights Elementary School serves 466 students in grades K–5 in Millville, in an area with several nearby elementary-school options. Its latest results show substantial academic challenges: in 2025–2026, average proficiency was 19% in ELA, 31% in math, and 7% in grade 5 science. The most important concern is ELA: Holly Heights averaged 19%, compared with 49% statewide.

Math is Holly Heights’ strongest subject compared with nearby K–5 schools: its 31% average was 2 points above their 29% average, while its ELA average was 12 points below peers’ 30% and science was 10 points below their 18%. The school also trailed the state by 16 points in math and 20 points in science; its math result was close to the 31% district average, while ELA was 5 points below the district’s 24%. Chronic absenteeism is another concern: 28% of students were chronically absent in 2024–2025, the highest rate among the nearby schools listed and nearly twice the 14% state rate. The rate was 31% in the Millville School District.

Math has improved over time, rising from 26% average proficiency in 2022–2023 to 31% in 2025–2026; ELA remained nearly unchanged at about 19%, and grade 5 science fell from 10% to 7%. SchoolDigger ranked Holly Heights 1,144th of 1,331 schools, at the 14th percentile and one star, in 2025–2026; its district ranked at the 7th percentile. The 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 11, below the nearby-school average of 11.7. As context, 83% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025, the third-highest rate among nearby K–5 schools with that measure. SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well the school serves English Language Learner Students rose from the 9th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 61st in 2024–2025, while its ranking for how well it serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 34th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 12th in 2025–2026.
