Holland Elementary stands out for its exceptional academic performance, with proficiency rates significantly higher than district and state averages. For example, 87% of 3rd graders were proficient in English Language Arts and 94% in Math, outpacing nearby schools like Sabal Elementary School and Croton Elementary School by 20-30 percentage points. The school also boasts a remarkably low chronic absenteeism rate of just 9.7%, less than half the district rate and a third of the state rate, reflecting strong student engagement and family involvement.

Overall, Holland Elementary offers a supportive, high-achieving environment with efficient resource use and a strong community focus.
