Summary

Holabird Middle is a public middle school in Baltimore, Maryland, serving 993 students in grades 4-8. The school is part of the Baltimore County Public Schools district, which is ranked 17th out of 25 districts in the state.

Holabird Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Maryland middle schools, with a 0 or 1 star rating from SchoolDigger. The school significantly underperforms the Baltimore County and Maryland averages in both Mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 3.9% of Holabird students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 20.7% for Baltimore County and 26.5% for Maryland. Holabird also has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 28% to 41.3% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the district and state averages.

While Holabird Middle's performance is lower than nearby Sparrows Point Middle, Deep Creek Middle, and Golden Ring Middle, it is still better than some schools in the Baltimore City Public Schools district, such as Lillie May Carroll Jackson School and Vanguard Collegiate Middle. However, the school's high per-student spending and low student-teacher ratio suggest that the challenges may not be solely due to a lack of funding or resources.
