Elementary Schools in Holton

There is only one elementary school located in Holton, Kansas - Holton Elementary School. Serving grades PK-5, the school has 540 students and is part of the Holton school district. While the school has some positive metrics, such as a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it generally underperforms the state average on standardized test scores across multiple subjects and grade levels.

Holton Elementary School's statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 506 out of 668 Kansas elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 422 out of 653 in 2023-2024, with a 2-star rating out of 5. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (34.92%) and Mathematics (32.03%) were both lower than the state averages (33.55% and 31.6%, respectively) in 2023-2024. The school's 5th-grade proficiency rates were particularly low, with only 30.37% proficient in ELA and 22.78% in Mathematics, compared to state averages of 39.3% and 32.35%.

Despite the school's higher per-student spending and lower student-teacher ratio, these factors do not appear to be translating into significantly better academic results compared to the state average. Further investigation may be needed to understand the specific challenges facing Holton Elementary School and identify strategies to improve student learning and achievement.
