Summary:
The city of Holton, Michigan is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one traditional and one virtual), and no alternative schools. The schools in Holton face significant challenges, with most performing below state averages and receiving low ratings from SchoolDigger.
Holton Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in 3rd grade English Language Arts and Math, but also has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a lower socioeconomic status. In contrast, Holton High School has an impressive 95.1% four-year graduation rate, but struggles with lower proficiency rates in 11th grade subjects like Science, Social Studies, and SAT Math. The Holton Virtual Academy is an outlier, with significantly lower graduation and higher dropout rates, as well as much lower spending per student compared to the traditional schools.
Across the Holton Public Schools district, the schools face challenges related to high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, chronic absenteeism, and overall academic performance that lags behind state averages. Addressing these disparities and improving resource allocation could be crucial in helping the district better serve its students and community.
