Summary:
The city of Holcomb, Kansas is home to 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual academy), and no alternative schools. The schools in this district generally underperform the state averages in proficiency rates for English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, with some notable exceptions.
Holcomb Elementary 3-5 stands out as the strongest performer in the district, with higher proficiency rates in core subjects compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, Holcomb Middle School and Holcomb High School have particularly low proficiency rates, scoring well below the state averages. Wiley Elementary also performs relatively well, with proficiency rates close to or above the state averages, despite having a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
The schools in the Holcomb district have high percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 52.16% at Holcomb High to 60.73% at Holcomb Middle. This suggests a relatively high level of economic disadvantage in the district, which may be a contributing factor to the generally low test scores observed. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student, from $9,106 at Holcomb Elementary 3-5 to $13,678 at Holcomb High, suggests potential inequities in resource allocation across the district.
