Holliday Isd, TX - District Data

Original Research by School Decision on Holliday Isd

Holliday ISD is a small district serving the town of Holliday and surrounding areas in Archer County. The enrollment spans pre-K through grade 12 across three schools: an elementary building, a middle school, and a high school. The student body is predominantly white, with a smaller Hispanic population and smaller numbers of other backgrounds represented.

On state testing, Holliday's results show a mixed profile across subjects and grades. In English language arts, the district performs relatively stronger, with a majority of students meeting proficiency across most tested grades. Reading proficiency runs above the midline in grades 3, 5, 6, and 7, though grade 4 shows weaker results. Math performance is more uneven. Grades 3 and 4 show solid proficiency rates; grade 7 stands out as a notable strength. But grades 5, 6, and 8 see proficiency drop noticeably lower. Science is a soft spot for the district. Proficiency in grade 5 science is modest, and grade 8 science performance falls to roughly four out of ten students meeting the standard. Social studies in grade 8 is the weakest area tested, with fewer than a third of students meeting proficiency. This pattern suggests the district may want to examine its science and social studies instructional approaches and supports, particularly in the middle grades.

The district serves a community with some economic stability. Housing values in the area are in a moderate range, and rental costs are reasonable relative to local household income. Property tax rates on schools have been compressed downward in recent years under state mandate, which lowers the school-tax burden for homeowners considering the area. The district reports a chronic absenteeism rate that sits above the midpoint among Archer County's other districts, meaning attendance is somewhat of a concern, though not the highest in the county.

A major development for Holliday is a bond package voters approved in May 2023. The investment is touching every campus and program, with projects including middle school classroom and science lab additions, a new secondary cafeteria, a new auditorium, expanded extracurricular spaces, a new baseball and softball complex, and stadium upgrades. As of late 2025, the district was in phases three and four of these improvements. This substantial infrastructure investment reflects the district's ambition to expand capacity and modernize facilities for families moving into or staying in the area.

Overall proficiency across tested subjects ranks in the lower range compared to the other district in Archer County, a gap parents may want to explore further with the school. The combination of uneven performance across grades and subjects, alongside significant facility expansion underway, suggests a district in transition working to support academic improvement while building out its physical infrastructure.
