Summary:
Holt Public Schools operates a single high school, Holt Senior High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has seen a decline in its statewide ranking over the past three years, dropping from 231 out of 735 Michigan high schools in 2022-2023 to 354 out of 739 in 2024-2025. While the school's performance rating has remained at 3 out of 5 stars on the SchoolDigger scale, its four-year graduation rate of 82.8% and dropout rate of 7.6% are areas of concern, as they are slightly below and above the state averages, respectively.
Academically, Holt Senior High School's proficiency rates on the M-Step/Science and M-Step/Social Studies assessments for 11th-grade students are below the state averages, but the school's proficiency rates on the SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing assessment are above the state average. However, the school's proficiency rates on the SAT/Mathematics assessment for 11th-grade students are below the state average. The school serves a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (44.04% in 2023-2024), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families.
Despite the school's higher per-student spending of $16,011 for the 2023-2024 school year, which is above the state average, and a student-teacher ratio of 17.5, which is slightly lower than the state average, the school's overall performance and academic achievement suggest that there is room for improvement. Further analysis and investigation may be needed to identify the root causes of these challenges and develop strategies to address them.
