Summary:

The 95023 zip code in the Hollister, CA area serves approximately 10,400 students across 20 public schools, ranging from elementary to high school, with most operating under the Hollister district.

Academic performance varies dramatically between schools, with Accelerated Achievement Academy standing out as a top-performing middle school, while R. O. Hardin Elementary faces significant challenges. Other strong options include Spring Grove Elementary and the charter school Hollister Prep. The area's largest school, Hollister High, has a high graduation rate but test scores, especially in math, are below state averages.

Key challenges across many schools include math proficiency and chronic absenteeism, though spending levels do not consistently predict success. Parents should note the wide performance differences even within the same district, suggesting that individual school environment and programs are crucial factors to consider.
