Summary

Elizabeth Holladay Elementary is a large PK-5 school in the Richmond, VA area, serving 859 students within Henrico County Public Schools, and it has historically ranked in the bottom tier of Virginia elementary schools — currently at the 8th percentile statewide. The school serves a very high-poverty population, with nearly 90% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch, and it faces significant challenges across academics, resources, and attendance.

On every 2025–2026 SOL test, Holladay’s proficiency rates fall well below district and state averages. For example, 4th-grade reading is 40.4% proficient versus 73.7% statewide, and 4th-grade math is 41.0% versus 73.3% — gaps of roughly 32–33 points. The school also spends the least per student among nearby schools at $8,903, compared to $12,337 at Three Chopt Elementary and $11,900 at Crestview Elementary. Holladay’s student-teacher ratio of 16.8 is among the highest in the area, and its chronic absenteeism rate of 15.9% exceeds both the district and state averages, though it remains below several nearby low-performing schools like Skipwith Elementary and Charles M. Johnson Elementary.

What stands out is that high poverty does not explain Holladay’s outcomes. Three Chopt Elementary, just 2.9 miles away, has a nearly identical poverty rate but ranks in the 75th percentile statewide and scores above 90% proficient in 5th-grade math and reading. Crestview Elementary and Maude Trevvett Elementary also serve similar demographics with far stronger results. Even Linwood Holton Elementary, in the lower-ranked Richmond City Public Schools, outperforms Holladay in every subject while having just 7.1% chronic absenteeism. Holladay’s 3rd-grade scores are closer to state averages, but 4th and 5th grades drop sharply, suggesting students lose ground as content gets harder. With no sustained improvement over the past decade, the school appears to need systemic, long-term interventions — but the success of nearby schools shows that better outcomes are achievable.

My son attended kindergarten and 1st grade, he's getting ready for 2nd grade this year, so far I'm happy with the teachers he had ! Close Quote

i think that your teachers are the worst in the district. they don't care about the students, and i wish my children did not have to attend your school! but i don't have a choice, please inform your teachers how supposed to teach. they should not judge one student on another students behavior just because they had bad experiences. also they should not judge one siblings behavior on another because no two children are the same.
please teach your teachers to TEACH!!! also to keep their hands to their selves an not on the students! and why your at it check out your TEACHERS instead of the students because some of them have anger management issues that need to be addressed before a lawsuit is filed. THANK YOU

My only complaints about Holladay are, the lack of a larger auditorium and the sometimes disorganized events. There are lots of fun family events every month and the teachers there really seem to love their students. Close Quote
