Summary

Hollister Dual Language Academy is a K-8 public school serving 858 students in the Hollister School District, offering a specialized program where instruction is provided in both English and Spanish.

The school has a mixed performance record, with its statewide ranking having declined over the past decade to the 39th percentile. It shows notable strengths, including a very low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.6%, which is less than half the average of most other schools in the Hollister district like Sunnyslope Elementary (30.5%) and Cerra Vista Elementary (26.3%). Its math scores are also above the district average, and it is particularly effective for English Language Learners, ranking in the 77th percentile for that group. However, performance varies widely by grade, with strong 3rd-grade math but much lower scores in 4th-grade English and 8th-grade math.

When compared to nearby schools in other districts, such as Spring Grove Elementary (76th percentile) and the charter school Hollister Prep (72nd percentile), Hollister Dual Language Academy's overall academic performance is lower. Its Spanish language assessment results are mixed, and there has been a recent, sharp decline in performance for students in special education. Within its own district, it performs in the middle range, outperforming schools like Calaveras Elementary but lagging behind higher-performing schools like Sunnyslope Elementary.
