Summary:
The Holland City School District in Michigan has only one middle school, Holland Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school has faced declining performance in recent years, ranking 579 out of 890 Michigan middle schools for the 2024-2025 school year with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Holland Middle School's student proficiency rates on state assessments are generally lower than the state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's 6th grade English Language Arts proficiency rate was 29.3% compared to the state average of 38.6%. The school also has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 29.5% for the 2023-2024 school year, which may be contributing to its academic challenges. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch at 64.37% in 2023-2024, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the student population.
Despite the relatively high per-student spending of $19,943 for the 2023-2024 school year and a student-teacher ratio of 16.6, Holland Middle School's performance continues to lag behind the state averages. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, resource allocation, and collaboration with the broader community to support the needs of the school's students.
