Hollis-Brookline Cooperative School District

The Hollis-Brookline Cooperative School District in New Hampshire is home to two standout schools: Hollis-Brookline High School and Hollis-Brookline Middle School. Both schools have consistently ranked among the top 15 in the state, with Hollis-Brookline High School ranking 7th and Hollis-Brookline Middle School ranking 13th in the 2023-2024 school year.

Academically, these schools excel, outperforming state and district averages in proficiency rates for standardized tests like the NH SAS and SAT. Hollis-Brookline High School boasts a 60% proficiency in mathematics and 89% proficiency in reading, while Hollis-Brookline Middle School achieves 63% proficiency in mathematics and 70% proficiency in reading. Both schools maintain favorable student-teacher ratios, with Hollis-Brookline High School at 11.8 to 1 and Hollis-Brookline Middle School at 13.3 to 1.

However, the schools serve a predominantly white and relatively affluent student population, with low percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (3.3% at the high school and 3.66% at the middle school). This raises questions about the schools' efforts to promote diversity and address issues of equity, even as they continue to excel academically. While the schools' consistent high performance is commendable, there may be opportunities to further enhance student outcomes, particularly in areas where proficiency rates, though high, are not at the maximum level.
