The data reveals that Holton High School is the standout in the district, consistently ranking among the top 17 high schools in the state and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger. In contrast, Holton Elementary School and Holton Middle School have struggled, ranking in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state and with test scores below the state averages.

The district has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, particularly at the elementary and middle school levels, suggesting the district serves a population with significant economic challenges. Spending per student is relatively consistent across the district's schools, but the student-teacher ratios vary significantly, with the virtual high school, Fresh Start, having a much higher ratio than the other schools.

Overall, the data highlights the strengths of Holton High School and the areas for improvement in the district's lower grade levels. The economic challenges faced by the district's student population and the varying student-teacher ratios across schools are also notable findings.
