Summary

Elliott Elementary School in Holt, MI, is a K-5 school within the Holt Public Schools district, serving 457 students in a community where just over half of families qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Elliott sits in the middle of the pack statewide, ranking in the 40th percentile for the 2025-2026 school year—a slight dip from its earlier position in the 50th percentile. Within its own district, Elliott generally trails schools like Wilcox Elementary School and Horizon Elementary School. For example, 3rd-grade math proficiency at Elliott was 36.6%, compared to 64.7% at Wilcox. However, Elliott significantly outperforms many nearby Lansing Public School District schools—its 3rd-grade ELA proficiency (31%) was nearly double that of Gardner International School (14.9%) and Attwood School (13.3%). Interestingly, Cavanaugh School, despite serving a similar demographic, ranks in the 73rd percentile statewide and outperforms Elliott in several areas, showing what's possible.

One of Elliott's biggest challenges is chronic absenteeism, though there's good news: the rate has dropped dramatically from 43.9% in 2021-2022 to 22.5% in 2024-2025. Still, that's higher than the 12.9% rate at Horizon. The school also struggles with larger class sizes (19.6 student-teacher ratio, the highest among in-district peers) and has seen declining effectiveness with low-income students, whose ranking fell from the 39th to the 21st percentile in two years. Performance varies by grade—4th graders exceeded state averages in both ELA and Math, while 5th graders struggled, especially in Math (16.9% proficiency vs. 32.2% statewide). For parents, this suggests a school working hard on attendance but facing real challenges in consistently meeting the needs of all its students.
