Summary:
The city of Hollywood, Alabama has only one school, Hollywood Elementary School, which serves grades PK-8 with a total enrollment of 183 students. The school faces significant challenges, with test scores consistently below the Jackson County and Alabama state averages, and a high percentage (83.06%) of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a population with substantial socioeconomic challenges.
Hollywood Elementary School's performance has declined in recent years, dropping from a statewide ranking of 295 out of 687 Alabama elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 484 out of 684 in 2023-2024. The school's student population is predominantly White (77.6%), which may not reflect the broader diversity of the community, and its low test scores, particularly in mathematics, suggest opportunities for improvement in curriculum, instruction, and targeted interventions to support student learning.
Despite the challenges faced by Hollywood Elementary School, the data provides a clear path forward. By identifying and implementing effective strategies to address the academic and socioeconomic needs of the student population, the school and the broader community can work to improve student outcomes and provide equitable educational opportunities for all children in the area.
