Hollis School has a predominantly white student population, with 92.83% of students identifying as white.

The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 19.9% is also a concern, as it is higher than the state average.

However, the school's free/reduced lunch rate of 30.38% indicates that a significant portion of the student population comes from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may present additional obstacles for the school to address.
