Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 76534, serving the small, close-knit community of Holland, Texas, are all part of the top-rated Holland Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 5-star rating and ranks in the 94th percentile of Texas districts.
Holland High School stands out as the district's academic powerhouse, boasting a near-perfect 95.7% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, with every STAAR subject score significantly exceeding state averages—most notably, 90% of students were proficient in Biology compared to 70.51% statewide. Holland Elementary provides a strong foundation, particularly in math, where 76.09% of 3rd graders were proficient—a massive 32 percentage points above the state average—and maintains a low student-to-teacher ratio of 12.9:1. Holland Middle excels as a math and science accelerator, with 94.12% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I and 80% proficient in 8th Grade Science, both roughly double the state average.
Key metrics reveal a district investing heavily in small class sizes, with the high school enjoying an exceptionally low 7.8:1 student-teacher ratio and per-student spending ranging from $12,943 to $13,949. An interesting finding is the powerful "Algebra I Pipeline," where 87.5% of 8th graders proficient in Algebra I feed directly into high school success. However, a notable weakness appears in 7th Grade Math, where only 29.17% of students were proficient, signaling a critical intervention point. Overall, the district shows consistent year-over-year improvement at the high school level and leverages its small-school advantage to produce test scores that consistently outperform state averages across nearly all subjects and grade levels.
