Hollister R-V

The Hollister R-V school district in Missouri consists of 4 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school, serving students from early childhood through 12th grade. The district's schools have seen a mix of strengths and areas for improvement, with Hollister High School and Hollister Elementary School standing out as the district's top performers, despite declining state-wide rankings over the past few years.

Hollister High School is the district's highest-ranked school, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger, but its state-wide ranking has dropped from 77th in 2020-2021 to 140th in 2022-2023. The school has a relatively high percentage of white students (80.31%) and spends $12,831 per student, which is higher than the elementary and middle schools. In contrast, Hollister Elementary School has maintained a consistent 3-star rating over the past 3 years, but its state-wide ranking has declined from 300th to 368th. The elementary school outperformed the state average in mathematics proficiency but underperformed in English Language Arts.

Across the Hollister R-V district, the schools have a relatively homogeneous student population, with the majority being white. The higher percentage of Hispanic students at Hollister Early Childhood Center and Hollister Elementary School suggests a need to address the educational needs of this demographic. Additionally, the high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients, particularly at the Hollister Middle School, indicate that the district may need to focus on supporting students from lower-income families.
