Summary

Spring Grove Elementary is a highly-regarded K-8 public school serving 762 students in Hollister, California, and it stands out as one of the top-performing schools in the area.

Academically, the school is strong, with over 60% of students proficient in English and over 53% proficient in Math, significantly outperforming most Hollister district schools and the state average. It shows remarkable consistency, effectively supporting all student groups, including those from low-income families and English learners. A standout achievement is the school's incredibly low chronic absenteeism rate of just 3.9%, a dramatic improvement from recent years and far better than the state average and nearby schools like Sunnyslope Elementary (30.5%).

While the charter school Hollister Prep shows similar test scores, Spring Grove maintains a lower student-teacher ratio and much better student attendance. The school is part of the high-ranking North County Joint Union Elementary district and has shown impressive recent improvement in both its statewide ranking and support for economically disadvantaged students, making it a compelling choice for families seeking a proven, well-rounded educational environment.
