Holland Elementary

Holland Elementary sits in a small rural community just southeast of Temple, where tight-knit families tend to stick around for generations and everyone knows their neighbors. The school punches well above its size, especially in science, where it ranks among the top 5% in Texas — a standout achievement for a small-town campus. Families who want a close community feel without sacrificing strong academics will find a lot to like here, and the slower pace of Holland itself is a real draw for those looking to escape the bustle of the nearby I-35 corridor.
