Summary

Holland Elementary is a small PK–6 school in Holland, MA, serving 212 students in the Holland district, rated 3 stars and ranked 361 of 899 schools (60th percentile) in 2025–2026. The school has improved from the 43rd percentile in 2018–2019 and has held in the 56th–62nd percentile range since 2020–2021. Its academic profile is distinctive: math is consistently strong, ELA is near the state average, and science—long a strength—dropped sharply in 2025–2026.

Math is Holland’s anchor. In 2025–2026, 54.69% of students were proficient in math, 13.58 points above the state, nearly matching Burgess Elementary (55.05%) even though that school is higher-ranked. ELA was 41.41%, just 1.38 points above the state, but grade-level results split: 3rd grade was +10.34 and 6th grade +19.74 over state, while 5th grade was 10.37 points below state. Science fell to 41.67%, only 0.69 points above the state and far below Brimfield Elementary (61.54%) and Burgess Elementary (60.75%). Holland’s 10.6 student-teacher ratio is favorable, and its 2020–2021 spending of $16,879 is lower than many nearby districts. A standout is its effectiveness with low-SES students: 94th percentile, 5 stars, far above its overall 60th percentile. The latest special education subgroup rank is 17th percentile, 1 star, though the sparse history and small subgroup size warrant caution.

Locally, Holland sits in the middle-to-upper tier. It trails Brimfield Elementary and Burgess Elementary, but is well ahead of Wales Elementary, Granite Valley School, Warren Elementary, Old Sturbridge Academy Charter Public School, and the Southbridge schools Charlton Street and West Street, which have much lower proficiency. Caveats: spending data are from 2020–2021, free/reduced lunch data are suppressed, several subgroup years are missing, and Holland is small, so year-to-year volatility should be interpreted cautiously. Nearby grade spans also differ, so comparisons are not perfectly apples-to-apples. Bottom line: a stable, above-average school with strong math and exceptional low-SES results, but science, 5th-grade ELA, and the latest special education rank are worth watching.
