High Schools in Holcomb R-III

Summary:

The Holcomb R-III school district in Missouri contains a single high school, Holcomb High, which serves grades 9-12. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, it has struggled academically in recent years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 183 out of 378 schools in 2023-2024 to 308 out of 358 schools in 2020-2021.

Holcomb High's performance is below the state average across several key metrics. The school's test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are lower than the state averages in subjects like 8th grade Science, 7th grade English Language Arts, Algebra I, and Biology I. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.0%, which is higher than the state average. However, the school does have a strong four-year graduation rate of 94.4%, which is above the state average.

One notable factor about Holcomb High is that 100% of its students are eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. This economic challenge may be contributing to the school's lower academic performance compared to the state averages. Overall, while Holcomb High has some areas of strength, such as its graduation rate, the school appears to be struggling academically and may benefit from a focus on improving test scores and addressing chronic absenteeism.
