Holyoke High has consistently ranked in the bottom tier of Massachusetts high schools, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by MCAS test scores, is significantly lower than the state average, with only 21.94% of 10th-grade students proficient or better in English Language Arts, 14.58% in Mathematics, and 13.23% in Science, compared to state averages of 56.86%, 48.47%, and 49.26% respectively. Holyoke High's four-year graduation rate is 76.7%, and its dropout rate is 13.4%.
Despite the school's low performance, it has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.8 and higher per-student spending of $18,753 compared to the state average. These factors suggest that the issue may not be solely about resource allocation, but rather the effective utilization of those resources to improve student outcomes. The school's demographic challenges, with a predominantly Hispanic student population and a significant proportion of students from low-income families, may contribute to the academic challenges and the need for targeted interventions and support.
