Summary:
Holland, Indiana is served by a single public school: Holland Elementary School, an elementary school covering grades PK–5 with 244 students, and it belongs to the Southwest Dubois County School Corp. Since it is the only school in the city, there are no local schools to compare it against; the most useful benchmarks are its district and the state of Indiana.
By those benchmarks, Holland Elementary performs strongly. Its state rank climbed from 252 of 1,011 (75th percentile) in 2023–2024 to 136 of 1,015 (87th percentile) in 2025–2026, and it has earned 4 stars every year, placing it in roughly the top 13% of ranked Indiana schools. Math is the standout: in 2025–2026, all-grade math proficiency was 69.23% against 54.46% in the district, while grade 5 math reached 72.22% versus 46.39% district and 42% state. ELA was 56.73% across all grades versus 45.44% district, with grade 3 at 60% against 40.8% state. Science was 59.38% versus 45.19% district, and grade 5 social studies hit 66.67% versus 44.58% district and 47.2% state — a sharp rise from 18.18% the previous year, though that reflects a different group of students rather than individual growth.
Attendance is a major strength, with only 4.2% of students chronically absent in 2024–2025, compared with 9.1% in the district and 16.7% statewide. About 41.8% of students qualified for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending was $10,414, and the student-teacher ratio was 15. Two caveats: all-grade math and science dipped from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026 (math from 77.88% to 69.23%; science from 67.57% to 59.38%), yet both remain well above district levels. Overall, families will find a consistently high-performing elementary school with strong results and excellent attendance.
