Summary:
The city of Hollis, Oklahoma is home to 3 public schools serving students from elementary through high school. The data reveals a mixed picture, with the Hollis Elementary School and Hollis Middle School demonstrating stronger academic performance, while the Hollis High School faces more significant challenges.
Hollis Elementary School stands out as a bright spot, outperforming the state average on 5th grade English Language Arts and Mathematics tests. This could be attributed to its relatively low student-teacher ratio of 13.4, which may allow for more individualized attention. In contrast, Hollis High School struggles academically, with low proficiency rates on 11th grade assessments. The higher student-teacher ratio of 25.4 at the high school level may be a contributing factor.
Across all three schools, the data reveals high free and reduced lunch rates, ranging from 58.71% at the high school to 79.91% at the elementary school. This suggests the Hollis school district serves a community facing significant economic challenges. The district's higher spending per student at the high school level may be an effort to address these challenges and support student success, but more work is needed to ensure equitable resource allocation and improved outcomes for all students in Hollis.
