Summary:
ZIP code 01746 is Holliston, Massachusetts, a town with four public schools — two elementary, one middle, and one high school — covering the full PK–12 pipeline within the Holliston district, which ranks 50th of 351 Massachusetts districts (86th percentile, 4 stars). Enrollment totals 2,689 students: Placentino Elementary (PK–2, 605), Miller School (3–5, 649), Robert H. Adams Middle School (6–8, 626), and Holliston High (9–12, 809). Elementary students make up 46.6% of the total, middle school 23.3%, and high school 30.1%.
The district's strength sits at the secondary level. Holliston High is a 5-star school ranked 30th of 353 high schools (92nd percentile), up from 60th three years ago, with 81.68% proficient in 10th-grade math versus 43.73% statewide, 73.44% in ELA versus 45.48%, and 72.97% in science versus 40.5%. Robert H. Adams Middle School is also 5-star, ranked 45th of 478 middle schools (91st percentile), and has stayed in the 89th–93rd percentile for three years; its all-grade scores are 65.11% in ELA, 69.45% in math, and 68.2% in science, roughly 25–30 points above state. Miller School is 3-star, ranked 288th of 899 elementary schools (68th percentile), with strengths in 5th-grade math (66.34% vs. 39.5% state) but a weak spot in 4th-grade math (39.83%, below the state's 43.2%).
Resources and outcomes don't line up simply: Robert H. Adams Middle School has the lowest per-student spending ($14,279) yet is 5-star, while Placentino Elementary has the highest ($15,009) and the highest student-teacher ratio (14.3) but no test data because it serves PK–2. Holliston High reports a 96.1% graduation rate and a 1.0% dropout rate. Two oddities stand out: Holliston High's reported 0% proficient in Physics All Grades against a state 44.25%, and Miller School's science falling from 68.78% to 57.77% in one year. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all four schools, so equity comparisons aren't possible.
