High Schools in Holton

The Holton area is home to two high schools: Holton High and Fresh Start (Virtual). Holton High stands out as a consistently high-performing school, ranking among the top 17 high schools in Kansas for the past three school years and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger in the most recent two years.

Holton High's academic excellence is evident in its significantly higher test scores compared to the state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. The school also maintains a relatively low free and reduced lunch rate of 36.53%, indicating a more affluent student population. Additionally, Holton High spends $15,517 per student, which is higher than the state average, and has a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.4 to 1.

In contrast, Fresh Start (Virtual) is a much smaller high school with only 59 students and a very low free and reduced lunch rate of 5.08%. However, it faces challenges with a high student-teacher ratio of 59 to 1, which may impact the school's ability to provide personalized attention and support to its students in a virtual learning environment.
