Holton Public Schools

The Holton Public Schools district in Michigan consists of 4 schools: 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one traditional and one virtual), and no alternative schools. The district serves a predominantly low-income student population, with free and reduced lunch rates ranging from 66.12% to 94.12% across the schools.

While Holton Elementary School has the largest enrollment and the highest per-student spending at $17,007, its academic performance on standardized tests is relatively low compared to state averages, with proficiency rates ranging from 10.7% to 42.9% across different subjects and grade levels. In contrast, the smaller Holton Virtual Academy has the lowest per-student spending at $6,819 but similar graduation and dropout rates to the traditional Holton High School.

Across the district, the schools are performing well below the state averages on standardized tests, particularly in the elementary and middle schools. Additionally, all the schools have high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 29.5%, which can significantly impact student learning and achievement. The Holton Public Schools district faces several challenges and should prioritize addressing the underlying issues to improve educational outcomes for its students.
