Summary

Hollywood Hills High School is a large public high school in Hollywood, FL, serving 1,711 students in grades 9-12 as part of the Broward County School District, with 42.3% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch in the 2024-2025 school year.

The school's most notable strength is its high graduation rate of 96.7%, which significantly outperforms both the district (91.4%) and state (92.2%) averages. However, this success is paired with a critical challenge: chronic absenteeism has hovered around 52% for three years, nearly 1.6 times the district average. This absenteeism crisis is shared with nearby schools like South Broward High School (52.8%) and McArthur High School (52.3%), suggesting a community-wide issue. In contrast, Nova High School, just over three miles away, has a much lower absenteeism rate of 31%. Academic proficiency is low, with only 29% of students proficient in Algebra 1 compared to 63% statewide, and 46% proficient in 10th-grade ELA versus 58% at South Broward. The presence of elite magnet schools like McFatter Technical College and Sheridan Technical College in the area may draw motivated students away, concentrating challenges at comprehensive schools like Hollywood Hills.

Despite these hurdles, there is a bright spot: U.S. History proficiency has jumped from 47% in 2022-2023 to 75% in 2025-2026, above the state average. This suggests targeted strategies can work. The school's 2-star state ranking (32nd percentile) has improved from recent 1-star ratings, but it remains below its historical performance. For parents, Hollywood Hills offers a strong path to graduation, but the high absenteeism and low test scores in core subjects like math and reading are important factors to consider when evaluating the school's overall academic environment.
