Summary

Holland Woods Middle School is a public middle school serving 408 students in grades 6-8 in the Port Huron Area School District in Port Huron, Michigan. The school faces significant academic challenges, consistently underperforming compared to state and district averages on standardized tests, particularly in math.

Holland Woods Middle School has very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 29.5% to 48.7% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students from low-income families, with 70.7% to 77.7% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This socioeconomic factor likely contributes to the school's academic struggles. Interestingly, the nearby Central Middle School and Fort Gratiot Middle School also face similar challenges, but the performance gap between them and Holland Woods Middle School is significant.

Despite the overall academic challenges, Holland Woods Middle School's performance with its African American student population is a potential bright spot, with the school ranking in the top 15% of Michigan middle schools in 2022-2023 for this subgroup. Understanding the factors that contribute to this relative success could provide valuable insights for improving the school's overall performance. Addressing the unique needs and challenges faced by the school's high percentage of students from low-income families will be a key focus for improvement.
