Summary

Los Lagos Bilingual Academy is an elementary school in Holland, MI, serving 267 students in grades PK-5 within the West Ottawa Public School District, where a majority of students (63%) qualify for free or reduced lunch.

The most striking news from Los Lagos is its dramatic academic turnaround. In the 2025-2026 school year, the school jumped from the 46th percentile statewide to the 91st percentile, earning a 5-star rating and ranking 127th out of 1,492 Michigan elementary schools. Proficiency rates soared across every subject and grade level—for example, 5th grade ELA jumped from 40% to 84% proficient, and 5th grade math rose from 35% to 64%. This performance now exceeds district averages by 14 to 43 percentage points in every tested area. The school also outperforms its same-district peers dramatically: while Woodside Elementary, Great Lakes Elementary, and Pine Creek Elementary all rank in the bottom half of Michigan schools, Los Lagos now ranks in the top 10%. In fact, it now competes favorably with the more affluent Zeeland Public Schools, such as New Groningen School and Quincy Elementary School, despite serving a much higher percentage of students from low-income families.

This success comes with notable efficiency. Los Lagos spends about $16,859 per student—less than its district peers (which spend $18,000+)—and maintains a higher student-teacher ratio of 15:1, yet achieves far better results. Chronic absenteeism (25.1%) remains a challenge, though it is lower than the district average and better than nearby schools. The school's history shows some volatility, so it's wise to watch whether this 5-star performance is sustainable. Still, for parents seeking a bilingual program that delivers strong academics, Los Lagos is currently one of the most impressive elementary schools in the Holland area.

Saturday, August 10, 2019

Terrible school I have no good things to say about this school. Not a lot of anything going on at this school. For such a small school there is no teacher parent communication. Teachers do not use classroom webpages. No before school programs or after school programs. Very unfriendly principal is not good at all. Very very few activities after school and for such a small school it feels very very unwelcoming for parents. Rude principal and staff. Close Quote
