Summary

Spring Grove Elementary serves 762 students in kindergarten through 8th grade in Hollister, among a group of nearby schools in the area. Its most important distinction is strong performance across subjects: in 2025–2026, it ranked first among nearby schools with results in all-grades English language arts (ELA) and mathematics, and second in science.

Spring Grove also outperformed California in every subject: proficiency was 63% in ELA, 54% in mathematics and 46% in science, compared with state results of 49%, 38% and 36%—gaps of 14, 15 and 10 percentage points. Compared with the average for nine nearby schools, Spring Grove was ahead by 27 points in ELA, 25 in mathematics and 21 in science. Science is its narrowest relative strength: Sunnyslope Elementary had the higher science result. The reported results for North County Joint Union Elementary match Spring Grove’s in all three subjects.

Results have improved over the four reported years: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, proficiency rose by 10 percentage points in ELA, 13 in mathematics and 13 in science, though science fluctuated along the way. SchoolDigger rates Spring Grove at the 77th percentile with 4 stars, up from the 60th percentile in 2022–2023; the district is at the 86th percentile with 4 stars. In 2024–2025, the student–teacher ratio was 22.3, below the nearby-school average of 24.7, and 43% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible, the lowest reported share among nearby schools with the same measure and year. Chronic absenteeism also fell, from 14% in 2021–2022 to 3% in 2025–2026, compared with 18% statewide. SchoolDigger’s statewide ranking for English Language Learner Students rose from the 22nd percentile in 2022–2023 to the 76th in 2023–2024, a notable increase in its measure of how well the school serves that group. In 2024–2025, Special Education Students ranked at the 52nd percentile, below the school’s overall 76th percentile. All-grades comparisons have limits because nearby schools serve different grade spans.
