Elementary Schools in Holt Public Schools

Summary:

The Holt Public Schools district in Michigan is home to 5 elementary schools serving students from kindergarten through 5th grade. These schools include Elliott Elementary School, Horizon Elementary School, Sycamore Elementary School, Wilcox Elementary School, and Dimondale Elementary School.

Among these schools, Wilcox Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, ranking 336 out of 1,486 Michigan elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Wilcox significantly outperformed the district and state averages on 3rd and 4th grade assessments. Horizon Elementary School also performed well, ranking 648 out of 1,486 and maintaining a 3-star rating.

However, the district as a whole faces some challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates across all schools and significant economic disadvantage, as evidenced by the high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients. Additionally, while Wilcox and Horizon excelled, the other schools struggled to meet state and district averages, particularly in math, suggesting potential performance gaps that need to be addressed. The wide range in spending per student, from $16,193 to $33,598, also raises questions about resource allocation and equity within the district.
