Middle Schools in Holcomb

Holcomb, Kansas has only one middle school, Holcomb Middle, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Kansas middle schools over the past few years, with a 1-out-of-5 star performance rating from SchoolDigger, indicating it is performing below average compared to other schools in the state.

Holcomb Middle struggles academically, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science all below the state averages. The school has a relatively small student population of 221 students, with a high percentage (60.63%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. Despite spending more per student than the state average, the school's performance has not improved, suggesting that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to the challenges it faces.

Holcomb Middle also faces issues with chronic absenteeism, with a rate of 19.5% in the 2024-2025 school year, significantly higher than the state average. Addressing the root causes of this attendance problem, as well as the school's overall equity concerns and resource allocation challenges, will likely be crucial in improving educational outcomes for the students of Holcomb.
