About Holliday C-2 School District

Out of 2,216 Missouri public schools, it ranks 29th overall, outperforming 99% of schools across the state. Among elementary schools, the standing is equally strong: 23rd of 1,202.

The standout metric is growth. Holliday C-2 scores 9.7 out of 10 for student growth, meaning students here advance academically at a pace that outpaces nearly every public school in Missouri. Academic achievement registers at 7.8 out of 10 — a strong foundation that, combined with exceptional growth, produces a composite that few schools in the state can match.

The school is a regular public school serving 48 students across kindergarten through 8th grade, with a 6-to-1 student-teacher ratio. That ratio gives teachers consistent, individual access to every student — a structural advantage that reinforces the school's exceptional growth performance. Families evaluating K-8 options in Missouri will find very few public schools that pair this level of personalized instruction with outcomes placing them in the top 1% statewide.
