Summary

Holloway High School is a public high school serving grades 9-12 in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, with a relatively small student population of 123 students. While part of the Rutherford County School District, which is ranked 39 out of 139 districts in the state, Holloway High School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Tennessee high schools in terms of academic performance.

Holloway High School's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the Rutherford County and Tennessee state averages across various subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates were significantly below the county and state averages in Algebra I, Algebra II, and English I. The school's performance also varies across different student subgroups, with male students performing relatively well, but female students, African American students, and students from low socioeconomic backgrounds struggling to achieve at the same level as their peers. However, the school's special education students have performed exceptionally well, ranking in the top 20% of Tennessee high schools in recent years.

Compared to nearby high schools in the Rutherford County district, such as Stewarts Creek High School, Smyrna High School, and Rockvale High School, Holloway High School's performance is generally lower in terms of academic achievement, graduation rates, and student engagement. However, the school's success with its special education students suggests there may be opportunities for improvement by identifying and replicating effective practices used to support this population.
