Holbrook School

Public Grades K-8

Summary

Holbrook School is a small K-8 school in Hamtramck, MI, serving 186 students within the Hamtramck School District of the City of, where nearly 89% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most pressing issue at Holbrook is chronic absenteeism. In the 2024-2025 school year, 51.6% of students were chronically absent—meaning they missed significant school days. This rate is more than double the state average (27.9%) and far higher than nearby schools like Tau Beta School (18.4%), Hanley International Academy (22.4%), and Hamtramck Academy (19.7%). This attendance challenge likely plays a major role in the school's academic struggles, which have placed it in the bottom quarter of Michigan elementary schools in recent years.

Despite these challenges, there are bright spots. Holbrook shows a notable strength in 5th-grade math, where 25% of students were proficient in both 2023-2024 and 2024-2025—more than double the district average and competitive with state levels. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 10.9, allowing for more individual attention. However, 8th-grade English scores have been volatile, dropping sharply from 35.7% proficiency in 2024-2025 to just 12.5% in 2025-2026, well below the state average of 64.8%. Interestingly, nearby charter schools like Hamtramck Academy (78th percentile) and Hanley International Academy (49th percentile) serve similar student populations with much better outcomes, suggesting that improvement is possible. Holbrook's own history supports this—in 2018-2019, it ranked in the 41st percentile and earned strong marks for supporting its low-income students. With focused attention on attendance and continued instructional support, the school has demonstrated it can do better.
