Summary

Holland Elementary School in Taylor, MI, is a K-5 school within the Taylor School District serving 310 students, with 79% of families eligible for free or reduced lunch.

Holland Elementary faces significant academic challenges, ranking in the bottom 15th percentile of Michigan elementary schools. However, the data reveals some bright spots worth noting. In the most recent school year, 4th-grade reading proficiency reached 48.9%—nearly double the district average and higher than the state average. This was a remarkable jump from the prior year and the best score among all comparable area schools for that grade and subject. The school also shows relative strength in serving its African American students, ranking in the 55th percentile statewide for that group, which is notably higher than its overall ranking. Additionally, 5th-grade social studies scores, while still below state averages, were the highest among all Taylor School District elementary schools with available data.

The most pressing concern for parents to understand is chronic absenteeism. While the rate has improved from a staggering 68% a few years ago to 41.6% currently, it remains nearly 1.5 times the state average. This high rate of missed school days is likely a major factor behind the inconsistent test scores, which swing dramatically from year to year—for example, 3rd-grade reading proficiency dropped from 42.9% to 7% in one year before partially recovering. A nearby comparison is instructive: Taylor Exemplar Academy, located just half a mile away, serves a similar student population but achieves proficiency rates often double or triple those at Holland, despite spending significantly less per student ($13,150 vs. $19,912). This suggests that while Holland invests heavily in its students, the connection between spending and outcomes is not yet translating into consistent academic growth.
