Summary

Holloway High School is a small public high school in Murfreesboro, TN, serving 122 students in grades 9-12 within [Rutherford County Schools](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/district/03690/search.aspx). The school offers an exceptionally personalized setting, with a student-to-teacher ratio of just 7.2:1, and invests roughly $24,682 per student—more than double the per-pupil spending at nearby comprehensive high schools like [Oakland High School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369001523/school.aspx) or [Siegel High School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369002038/school.aspx). With such a small enrollment, Holloway is drastically different from the massive surrounding schools, such as [Stewarts Creek High School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369002318/school.aspx), which serves over 2,400 students.

Academically, Holloway has achieved a genuine turnaround in recent years. After ranking in the 18th percentile statewide in 2022–2023, the school climbed to the 50th percentile (200th out of 400 schools) in 2025–2026, earning a 3-star rating for the third consecutive year. While test scores remain below district averages in most subjects, there are notable bright spots: English II and US History proficiency now exceed state averages, and Biology I proficiency has more than doubled since 2022. The school's graduation rate is a clear success, hitting 97.0% in 2024–2025, which is competitive with high-performing nearby schools like [Rockvale High School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369002580/school.aspx) (97.2%) and [Blackman High School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369001354/school.aspx) (97.3%).

Holloway's intensive support structure appears to yield remarkable results for specific student groups, particularly special education students, who ranked in the 92nd percentile statewide (5 stars) in 2023–2024—an extraordinary achievement for a school with modest overall test scores. However, parents should be aware of significant challenges. Chronic absenteeism affects nearly one in four students (23.1%), more than double the district rate of 11.3%, despite graduation rates remaining high, suggesting flexible credit recovery pathways. There is also a notable gender gap in effectiveness (males rank in the 73rd percentile versus females in the 29th percentile), and low-income students face considerable hurdles. Just 0.56 miles away, [Central Magnet School](https://www.schooldigger.com/go/TN/schools/0369002247/school.aspx) offers a starkly contrasting model, ranking in the 99th percentile statewide, illustrating the diverse educational options available within Rutherford County. For parents, Holloway represents a high-support environment that excels at graduating students who might otherwise fall through the cracks, even as it continues to tackle attendance and math proficiency.
