Summary:
Holland Central School District has only one middle school, Holland Middle School, which serves students in grades 5-8. The school has a relatively small student population of 231 and a predominantly white student body, with 94.81% of students identifying as white. While the school performs well on certain metrics, such as Regents exams and 8th grade science proficiency, it faces challenges in terms of inconsistent academic performance, particularly in English Language Arts (ELA).
Holland Middle School's ELA proficiency rates range from 0% in 4th grade to 49.02% in 7th grade, with the district and state averages generally outperforming the school. In mathematics, the school's proficiency rates are more consistent, ranging from 41.94% in 8th grade to 55.32% in 7th grade, but still lag behind the district and state averages. The school's statewide ranking has also declined significantly in recent years, dropping from 580 out of 1,479 middle schools in 2021-2022 to 1,091 out of 1,242 in 2020-2021.
Despite the school's relatively low academic performance in some areas, it spends a significant amount per student, $17,037, which is higher than the state average. The school also has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 14.8, suggesting an opportunity to optimize resource allocation and improve educational outcomes. Overall, Holland Central School District and its sole middle school face challenges in providing a well-rounded and consistently high-performing educational experience for its students.
