Summary

Hollis Elementary School is a public elementary school in Braintree, Massachusetts, serving 322 students from kindergarten to 4th grade. The school consistently ranks among the top 25% of Hollis elementary schools in Massachusetts, with particularly strong performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Hollis has maintained high academic achievement, with proficiency rates in the 2024-2025 school year that significantly exceeded the Braintree district and the state of Massachusetts. The school's performance is especially noteworthy for male students, students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, and special education students, ranking in the top 10%, top 5%, and top 20% of Massachusetts elementary schools, respectively. This suggests Hollis is effectively supporting the academic growth of traditionally underserved student groups.

While Hollis outperforms the Braintree district and state averages, several nearby schools in the district, such as Highlands, Liberty, Mary E. Flaherty, and Donald Ross, also demonstrate strong academic performance, ranking in the top 25% of Massachusetts elementary schools. This suggests the Braintree School District as a whole is providing a high-quality education to its students.
