Holcomb

Summary:

The Holcomb school district in Kansas serves students from 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the district as a whole is performing below the state average, there are some standout schools within the district.

Holcomb Elementary 3-5 appears to be the strongest performer, with higher test scores than the district and state averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. For example, in 2024-2025, 46.1% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 34.94% and the state average of 44.47%. The school also had stronger math and science proficiency rates. Meanwhile, Holcomb High stands out with a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 89.5% and a low dropout rate of 1.3% for the 2023-2024 school year.

However, the Holcomb school district faces some significant challenges, including high rates of chronic absenteeism across all schools and high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 51.04% at Wiley Elementary to 60.63% at Holcomb Middle. Addressing these socioeconomic challenges and improving attendance could be key focus areas for the district to improve overall academic performance.
