Summary:

Zip code 49905, encompassing the Atlantic Mine area of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, is served by a single elementary school, EB Holman Elementary School, which educates students in kindergarten through 8th grade within the Stanton Township Public Schools district.

For parents considering this area, EB Holman Elementary School offers a mixed but generally positive picture. The district itself earns a 4-star rating and ranks in the 79th percentile of Michigan districts, indicating solid overall leadership. The school’s own state ranking has hovered in the 60th to 69th percentile over the past three years, showing above-average but somewhat volatile performance. A standout positive is chronic absenteeism: only 13% of students are chronically absent, less than half the state average of 27.9%, which points to strong engagement. With 56% of students eligible for free or reduced lunch, the school faces economic challenges yet still manages to beat state averages in several key areas, including 3rd, 4th, and 7th-grade math, 6th-grade English language arts, and 5th-grade science and social studies.

The most notable concern is a persistent weakness in 5th-grade math, where proficiency has been just 20% (2025-2026) and 13.6% (2024-2025), far below state averages. This contrasts sharply with the school’s strong 7th-grade math performance (55% vs. 33.3% statewide) and excellent 8th-grade PSAT math scores (52.9% vs. 30.4% statewide), suggesting the school prepares older students well for high school. Additionally, there is a dramatic cohort difference: the 2024-2025 5th graders scored 66.7% in ELA and 60% in math, while the 2025-2026 5th graders scored only 35% and 20%, respectively. This volatility is typical of small cohorts but indicates that 5th grade may need targeted instructional support. Overall, EB Holman Elementary School is a solid choice with notable strengths in math and science at upper grade levels, though parents of incoming 5th graders may want to inquire about math intervention programs.
