Holdeman Elementary School is a public elementary school in Tempe, Arizona, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 388. The school is part of the Tempe School District, which is ranked 197 out of 288 districts in the state.

Holdeman Elementary School consistently performs below the Tempe School District and Arizona state averages in standardized test scores for English Language Arts and Mathematics.

The school has a low statewide ranking, placing between 835th and 1,088th out of over 1,200 Arizona elementary schools in recent years, and has received a 0 or 1 out of 5 stars rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is among the lowest-performing schools in the state.

For instance, the nearby Meyer Montessori, Frank Elementary School, and Broadmor Elementary School generally outperform Holdeman Elementary School in academic measures and statewide rankings. Additionally, the school's Native American and Multi-racial student subgroups perform better relative to their peers, suggesting that targeted interventions and support could help boost the academic achievement of other underperforming groups.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
