Summary

Holcomb Elementary 3–5 serves 187 students in grades 3–5 in Holcomb, Kansas. Its 2025–26 results were stronger than the reported Holcomb district rates in all three tested subjects, but below state rates. The clearest concern is fifth-grade math: 21% of students were proficient, compared with 45% statewide, a gap of 24 percentage points; proficiency was 43% in both grades 3 and 4.

Compared with nearby schools, Holcomb is among the stronger performers in ELA and math, but science is a relative weakness. It ranked third among nearby schools with results in both ELA (43%, versus a nearby average of 36%) and math (35%, versus 28%). Its science proficiency was 32%, 2 points below the 34% average for the two nearby schools with results: Deerfield Elementary and Abe Hubert Elementary School. Holcomb exceeded district rates by 10 points in ELA, 7 in math, and 5 in science, yet trailed the state by 3, 6, and 6 points, respectively. In fifth-grade math, its 21% result was between Deerfield’s 38% and Abe Hubert’s 19%.

Holcomb’s results are higher than in 2022–23, but fell in the latest year: since 2024–25, proficiency dropped 3 points in ELA, 3 in math, and 8 in science. SchoolDigger places the school at the 28th percentile with 1 star, down 41 percentile points from its 2015–16 standing. Its student–teacher ratio was 11.8, and its free/reduced-lunch rate was 55%, the second-lowest among nearby schools with reported rates; chronic absenteeism was 5%, below the state’s 18% and district’s 27%. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings differ sharply: English Language Learner Students ranked at the 64th percentile, compared with 28th overall, while Special Education Students ranked at the 4th percentile, down from the 85th percentile in 2022–23.
