Holbrook School

Summary:

Holbrook School is an elementary school in Hamtramck, Michigan, serving 203 students in grades K-8. The school is part of the Hamtramck School District, which is ranked 533 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating.

Holbrook School faces several challenges, including a significantly higher percentage of White students (86.21%) compared to nearby schools, a sharp increase in chronic absenteeism (from 6.2% to 40.3%), and lower academic performance than the district and state averages. For example, in 2023-2024, only 12.5% of 3rd-grade students at Holbrook were proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 13.5% in the district and 39.6% statewide. Additionally, Holbrook has a very high percentage of students (94.09%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage.

However, Holbrook School's performance is generally higher than the Golightly Education Center, and its male students and English Language Learner students have higher rankings within the state compared to the school's overall performance. The fluctuations in spending per student at Holbrook School, ranging from $0 to $18,347 in recent years, may also be an area of concern that warrants further investigation.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
