Holland Central School District

The Holland Central School District in New York operates three schools: Harold O Brumsted Elementary School, Holland High School, and Holland Middle School. The district serves students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade.

Holland High School stands out as a top performer, ranking 294 out of 1,242 New York high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school excels on Regents exams, with 100% proficiency in Common Core English Language Arts and Physics, and over 90% proficiency in several other subjects. It also maintains a relatively low dropout rate of 4.9% and a strong 4-year graduation rate of 84.3%. In contrast, Holland Middle School also performs well, ranking 499 out of 1,504 New York middle schools and demonstrating strong 8th-grade math proficiency at 71.43%, compared to the state average of 40.72%. However, the elementary school has more mixed results, with some grade-level test scores above the state average and others below.

The district's spending per student varies, ranging from $14,060 at the elementary school to $17,037 at the middle school, and student-teacher ratios also differ, from 8.7 at the elementary school to 14.8 at the middle school. These differences in resource allocation and staffing suggest the district may need to examine its approach to ensure equity and consistency across the system. Overall, the Holland Central School District appears to have a strong high school, but there may be opportunities for improvement at the elementary and middle school levels.
