Middle Schools in Hollister R-V

Summary:

The Hollister Middle is the sole middle school located within the Hollister R-V school district in Missouri. Serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 304 students, Hollister Middle has received mixed performance ratings from SchoolDigger, ranging from 2 to 3 stars out of 5 in the past three school years.

Academically, Hollister Middle's math proficiency rates exceed the state average across all three grade levels for the 2024-2025 school year, indicating a relative strength in mathematics. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates fall below the state average, and its 8th grade science proficiency rate is also below the state benchmark. Notably, the school's 8th grade ELA proficiency rate was significantly higher than the state average in the 2023-2024 school year, suggesting potential fluctuations in academic performance.

Hollister Middle faces challenges related to chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 28.6% in the 2023-2024 school year, which is quite high. Additionally, the school serves a population with a relatively high level of economic disadvantage, with 60.2% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite these challenges, the school allocates resources towards smaller class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 12.1 to 1, and spends above the state average per student at $12,258 in the 2021-2022 school year. However, these resource allocations do not appear to be fully translating into improved student outcomes, particularly in the area of ELA proficiency.
