Summary:
The city of Holland, Texas, is home to three public schools within the Holland Independent School District (Isd), serving 646 students from Pre-K through 12th grade in a small, tight-knit community. The district is a standout performer, ranking in the 94th percentile among all Texas districts with a 5-star rating, driven by a cohesive "feeder pattern" of excellence that starts at Holland Elementary, accelerates at Holland Middle, and culminates at Holland High School.
Holland High School is the academic powerhouse, consistently ranking in the top 10-13% of Texas high schools with a 95.7% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate. Its End-of-Course exam scores significantly exceed state averages across all subjects. Holland Middle shines as the math and science leader, with 8th graders taking Algebra I achieving a phenomenal 94.12% proficiency rate—far above the state average—and 8th-grade Science scores nearly doubling the state average. Holland Elementary provides a consistent foundation, showing steady improvement in its state ranking over three years and strong performance in Reading and Math, particularly in 5th-grade Reading and 3rd-grade Math.
Key metrics include a low student-teacher ratio of 10.3:1, with the high school enjoying the smallest classes at 7.8:1, and per-student spending averaging $13,595. The district's relatively low rate of economic disadvantage (35.6%) provides a favorable environment for academic focus. A notable area for improvement is 7th-grade Math at Holland Middle, where only 29.17% of students were proficient, matching the state average. Overall, the district’s advanced math pathway and consistent elementary improvement create a strong, upward trajectory for all students.
