Summary:
The city of Hollis, New York is home to 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. These schools serve a diverse student population, with a mix of African American, Hispanic, Asian, and other racial backgrounds, and a significant economically disadvantaged population, as indicated by the high rates of free or reduced-price lunch eligibility.
Among the standout schools in Hollis, Ps 35 Nathaniel Woodhull is the highest-performing elementary school, ranking 1032 out of 2439 New York elementary schools and receiving a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores, particularly in math, are generally higher than the district and state averages. Is 238 Susan B Anthony Academy, the middle school, has shown consistent improvement in its statewide ranking, moving from 1034 out of 1479 New York middle schools in 2021-2022 to 979 out of 1500 in 2022-2023, and its 8th-grade English Language Arts and Algebra I Regents test scores are higher than the district and state averages.
In contrast, Ps 134 Hollis and Cambria Heights Academy stand out as the lowest-performing schools in the data set, with low statewide rankings and test scores that are significantly below the district and state averages. Cambria Heights Academy also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 41.1%, which could be a contributing factor to its low academic performance. The varying spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools suggest that access to funding and resources may play a role in the performance disparities observed in the Hollis school district.
