Summary:
The city of Holcomb, Kansas is home to 4 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district faces some systemic challenges, Holcomb Elementary 3-5 stands out as the strongest performer, with the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to the other schools.
The Holcomb school district has consistently low performance, with all schools rated 1 or 2 stars by SchoolDigger. This suggests the need for targeted interventions to improve student outcomes, particularly in math and English Language Arts proficiency. The district also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates and a predominantly economically disadvantaged student population, which may contribute to the overall low performance.
Despite these challenges, Holcomb High stands out for its relatively high 4-year graduation rate and low dropout rate, indicating the school is doing a good job of keeping students engaged and on track to graduate. By addressing the systemic issues and building on the pockets of success, the Holcomb school district has the potential to improve overall student outcomes.
