Schools in Zip Code 01521

ZIP code 01521 covers Holland, Massachusetts, and contains exactly one public school in this data set: Holland Elementary, an elementary school serving grades PK–6 with 212 students, part of the Holland district. No middle, high, or alternative schools are listed for this ZIP, so families here move elsewhere for grades 7–12.

Mathematics is the clearest strength. All-grades math proficiency is 54.69%, compared with 41.11% statewide, and every tested grade beats the state: third grade 68.75% vs 42.19%, fourth 45.00% vs 43.20%, fifth 47.22% vs 39.50%, and sixth 65.00% vs 42.59%. English language arts is more mixed. The school's overall ELA score of 41.41% sits only slightly above the state's 40.03% because strong results in third grade (53.13%) and sixth grade (60.00%) are offset by fifth grade at 27.78% and fourth grade at 35.00%, both below state. Science came in at 41.67% against a state figure of 40.98%, a sharp drop from 61.11% the year before; since science is tested only in fifth grade, that swing likely reflects a different group of students rather than a schoolwide decline.

Holland Elementary has held a 3-star rating and roughly the 60th percentile among Massachusetts schools for three straight years. The district ranks 159 of 351, or the 55th percentile, also with 3 stars. The student-teacher ratio is a low 10.6, and per-student spending was $16,879 in 2020–2021. Free/reduced lunch data is not reported, so economic context cannot be assessed. Because this is a small, single-school district, year-to-year changes should be read with caution, but math stands out as the most reliable positive signal.
