High Schools in Holmes

The Holmes school district in Florida is home to three high schools: Holmes County High School, Ponce De Leon High School, and Graduation Assistance Program. While the schools face some common challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates, a closer look reveals that Ponce De Leon and Holmes County High School are the stronger performers in the district.

Ponce De Leon High School stands out as the top-ranked school in the district, performing better than the district and state averages on several test metrics, including Algebra 1, Civics, and 8th grade Science. It also boasts a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.7%. Holmes County High School also performs well, with a strong 4-year graduation rate of 89.7% and high proficiency rates in Biology 1 and US History end-of-course exams.

In contrast, the Graduation Assistance Program struggles across most test score metrics, with very low proficiency rates. This school's high spending per student and extremely high student-teacher ratio suggest it may be facing unique challenges. Overall, the data reveals a mixed picture for the high schools in Holmes, with Ponce De Leon and Holmes County High School showing some promising performance, while the district as a whole faces significant challenges, particularly with student attendance and academic proficiency.
