Summary:
The 65672 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, all part of the Hollister R-V school district. While some standout schools, like Hollister High and Hollister Elementary, show promising performance in certain areas, the district as a whole faces challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates and mixed academic outcomes across grades and subjects.
Hollister High stands out with a high 4-year graduation rate of 99.0% and performance above the state average in some End of Course exam proficiency rates, such as Algebra I and Government. Hollister Elementary also excels, performing above the state average in 4th grade math proficiency and having a relatively high 3rd grade English Language Arts proficiency rate.
However, the district faces significant socioeconomic challenges, with a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.5% at Hollister High to 67.17% at Hollister Elementary. This, coupled with high chronic absenteeism rates of around 28.6% across all schools, may be contributing to the mixed academic performance observed in some grades and subjects. Additionally, the variation in per-student spending across the schools suggests potential funding disparities that could impact the quality of education and resources available to students.
