My students come from a lower middle class-lower class neighborhood and often come to school with very little supplies for the year. Many students are refugees from different countries around the world, and come knowing little to no english. However, they come ready to learn and are always very excited to see the teachers and their friends at school. Many students have family members who work often which means very little time spent with family. Our community is very willing to help, but it's not often they have transportation to get to the school. Holly Hills/Ridge are Title 1 schools, and get some funding from the state, but our budgets rarely cover all of the students needs. Our test scores are gaining every year, but are still very low compared to the other elementary schools in our district. Students need constant support from staff, and family members. Our goal is to have our reading and writing scores continue to gain with the help of common core throughout all subjects.
