Holly Drive Leadership Academy District

Located at 4801 Elm Street in San Diego, California, Holly Drive Leadership Academy District operates as an open, single-school independent charter district within a large city setting. Serving the broader San Diego-Chula Vista-Carlsbad metropolitan area, this independent Local Education Agency delivers targeted educational programs designed for elementary and middle school students from Kindergarten through 8th grade. By focusing entirely on these foundational educational years within a single campus, the district creates a cohesive learning pathway aimed at fostering academic growth and leadership skills in an urban neighborhood environment.

According to 2024–2025 federal education records, the district educates a close-knit student body of 108 students, comprising 57 female and 51 male learners across its K–8 grade levels. The student population is culturally diverse, predominantly serving Black and Hispanic children alongside students identifying with two or more races. To support this student body, the district maintains a full-time equivalent (FTE) workforce of 28.5 staff members, featuring 13 classroom teachers, 2.25 instructional aides, and 13.25 support staff personnel. This strong staffing context allows for low student-to-teacher ratios and individualized academic and social support, ensuring each child receives dedicated attention throughout their educational journey.
