Summary

Hollis School is an elementary school in Hollis, Maine, serving grades PK-5 with a total enrollment of 284 students. The school is part of the Regional School Unit 06/Maine School Admin District 06, which is ranked 107 out of 176 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Hollis School has consistently performed better than the district and state averages in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics proficiency. In the 2024-2025 school year, 64.18% of Hollis School students were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 60.04% for the district and 63.84% for the state. In Mathematics, Hollis School had a 50% proficiency rate, higher than the district's 41.43% and the state's 49.38%. However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 32.0% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the state's average.

When compared to nearby schools, Hollis School's performance is mixed. Steep Falls Elementary School, located 10.25 miles away, consistently outperforms Hollis School in both ELA and Mathematics proficiency, ranking much higher in the state. On the other hand, Edna Libby Elementary School, Hollis School's closest neighbor at 9.2 miles away, has lower proficiency rates in both subjects. Additionally, Hollis School's statewide ranking has been declining over the years, from 95 out of 210 Maine elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 181 out of 289 in 2024-2025, suggesting the school may be struggling to keep up with the performance of other schools in the state.
