Summary

Wilcox Elementary School in Holt, MI, serves 413 students in Kindergarten through 5th grade and is part of the Holt Public Schools district, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 73rd percentile of Michigan elementary schools for the 2025-2026 school year.

Wilcox stands out as a high-performing school, especially when compared to nearby options. Its academic achievement far exceeds that of schools in the neighboring Lansing Public School District, where schools like North School and Attwood School rank in the 5th to 29th percentiles. Even within its own district, Wilcox outperforms peers: its 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 58% is nearly double that of Elliott Elementary School (31%) and significantly higher than Horizon Elementary School (34.2%) and Sycamore Elementary School (43.5%). A particularly notable strength is the school's success with students from low-income backgrounds—nearly half of its students qualify for free or reduced lunch—yet Wilcox ranks in the 84th percentile statewide for this subgroup, demonstrating a remarkable ability to close achievement gaps.

The school's greatest strengths lie in the early grades, with 3rd-grade math proficiency at 64.7%, well above state averages. However, there is a noticeable decline by 5th grade, where math proficiency drops to 33.3%, barely above the state average. This suggests a highly effective primary program that could benefit from additional support as students prepare for middle school. While Wilcox's performance has fluctuated year-to-year, it consistently outpaces its district and offers a strong educational foundation, particularly for families seeking a school that excels with diverse learners in the Holt area.
