Summary:
The city of Holliston, Massachusetts is home to a small but high-performing school district, with 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school. The district's standout schools are Robert H. Adams Middle School, which consistently ranks among the top 50 middle schools in the state, and Holliston High, which is ranked in the top 60 high schools in Massachusetts.
Robert H. Adams Middle School and Holliston High both excel academically, with MCAS test scores that exceed the district and state averages across English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Holliston High also boasts a high 4-year graduation rate of 96.5% and a low dropout rate of 3%. The schools in the Holliston district have relatively low student-teacher ratios, ranging from 12.5 to 14.8 students per teacher, indicating smaller class sizes.
While the Holliston schools demonstrate academic excellence, the data also reveals a relatively homogeneous student population, with White students making up the majority (77-81%) across the schools. The lack of socioeconomic data, such as free/reduced lunch rates, makes it difficult to assess the diversity of the student populations. Ensuring equitable access and opportunities for all students, regardless of their background, will be an important consideration for the district moving forward.
