While the district as a whole is ranked 213 out of 264 districts in Kansas and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger, one school stands out as a bright spot - Holcomb Elementary 3-5.
Holcomb Elementary 3-5 has the highest performance on state assessments in the district, with 46.1% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 38.11% proficient or better in Mathematics. The school's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students outperform the state averages in both ELA and Math, earning it a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger, the highest among the schools in the data set. In contrast, Holcomb High School and Holcomb Middle School struggle academically, with proficiency rates well below the state averages.
One concerning trend across all schools in the 67851 zip code area is the high chronic absenteeism rate of 19.5%, which is significantly higher than the state average. Additionally, the schools serve a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, with 51.04% to 60.63% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor may be influencing the academic performance of the schools, and addressing attendance issues could be a key focus area for improvement within the Holcomb school district.
