Summary:
ZIP code 47541 is home to a single public school: Holland Elementary School, a PK–5 elementary school with 244 students in Holland, Indiana, serving as part of the Southwest Dubois County School Corp. Because it is the only school listed in the ZIP, there are no middle, high, or alternative schools here, so families in this area have one local elementary option before students move on to schools elsewhere.
Academically, Holland Elementary performs well above both its district and the state. In 2025-2026 ILEARN testing, the school topped the state in every grade-level test where a state comparison was available: 3rd grade English Language Arts at 60% vs 40.8% statewide, 4th grade ELA at 57.58% vs 42.2%, and 5th grade ELA at 52.78% vs 42.2%. Math was the clearest standout — 5th grade math reached 72.22%, 30.22 points above the state, and 4th grade math hit 69.7%, 17.7 points above. All-grade math was 69.23% against the district's 54.46%. Fourth-grade science was 59.38% vs 43.8% statewide, and 5th-grade social studies was 66.67% vs 47.2%. The school climbed from 252 of 1,011 (75th percentile) in 2023-2024 to 136 of 1,015 (87th percentile) in 2025-2026, holding a 4-star rating each year.
Attendance is another strength: chronic absenteeism was 4.2% in 2024-2025, compared with 9.1% in the district and 16.7% statewide — roughly 1 in 24 students versus 1 in 6 statewide. The school also reports 41.8% free/reduced lunch, $10,414 in spending per student (2023-2024), and a 15:1 student-teacher ratio. Some caution is warranted: this is one small school of 244 students, so grade-level results can swing year to year — 5th-grade social studies, for instance, jumped from 18.18% to 66.67%. State all-grade comparisons for 2025-2026 ELA, math, and science were not provided.
