GreatSchools Rating
Parent Rating Average
Great experience at this small school. Standardized tests scores can not be the only method used to judge a school’s worthiness. The sense of community has been the number one most important factor for why my children have thrived here. Hollis enforces the idea that ALL kids matter, all kids are important and all kids deserve the very best we can give them. We don’t have the fanciest school with the best facilities but coming into this school feels warm and welcoming every single day.
