High Schools in Holcomb

The Holcomb area is home to two high schools: Holcomb High and Unified School District 363 Virtual Academy. Holcomb High is a traditional public high school serving grades 9-12 with 301 students, while the Virtual Academy is a public virtual high school with only 10 students.

Holcomb High's performance has been inconsistent, with its statewide ranking fluctuating between 149th and 244th out of Kansas high schools in recent years. The school's proficiency rates on state assessments are generally below the state average, particularly in Mathematics. Additionally, Holcomb High has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (52.16%), indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. In contrast, the Virtual Academy has a lower percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (30%) and a significantly higher student-teacher ratio of 50:1 compared to Holcomb High's 12.9:1.

While the data provides insights into the schools' performance and demographics, it lacks comprehensive information, such as graduation rates and college readiness, that could offer a more holistic understanding of the schools' effectiveness. To better support the educational needs of the Holcomb community, further analysis and targeted interventions may be necessary to address the areas of concern identified in the data.
