Summary

Holland Hill School in Fairfield, CT, is an elementary school serving grades PK–5 with 385 students, and it is part of the highly regarded Fairfield School District. The school earns a 4-star rating and ranks 110th out of 491 Connecticut elementary schools, placing it in the 78th percentile statewide — solidly above average, though in the lower half when compared with several nearby Fairfield elementary schools.

One of Holland Hill's most distinctive traits is its socioeconomic diversity: about 27% of students qualify for free/reduced-price lunch, which is roughly five times the rate at Riverfield School (4.7%) and Osborn Hill School (5.6%), and higher than Stratfield School (11.4%) and Jennings School (15.0%). Yet Holland Hill still outperforms McKinley School, the only nearby Fairfield school with a higher poverty rate (52.6%). Holland Hill ranks 110th statewide versus McKinley's 177th, and it also posts better attendance: chronic absenteeism is 6.6%, below the district average of 8.0% and far below the state's 16.4%. Test scores are well above state averages (roughly 70% proficiency in ELA and math versus about 50% statewide), though generally a bit below Fairfield's district average. The exception is 5th-grade math, where Holland Hill's 73.8% surpasses the district's 72.1%.

Holland Hill's results also stand in stark contrast to nearby schools in the Bridgeport School District just a couple miles away, where free/reduced lunch rates range from 80–94% and proficiency rates often fall below 25%. The school's state rank has improved dramatically since the mid-2010s, when it was a 3-star school, and it has been a consistent 4-star school since 2020-2021. There is notable year-to-year variation, with large swings in test scores that suggest each class's specific makeup strongly influences results. Still, Holland Hill's stronger-than-expected performance given its higher-poverty population, its improved attendance, and its ability to serve multiple student groups well all point to a school doing meaningful work in a more diverse community.

Very child and family centered school. Parents are down to earth, willing and involved. A great supportive community, with extremely experienced teachers. Most kids are walkers, so lots of social interaction on the extensive grounds after school and at weekends. The extra benefits bestowed by Title One funding in terms of individual child tuition, after school homework club and summer vacation reading camp are priceless. I have 3 little kids there and would not move away for the world. Close Quote
