Summary:
The Holland City School District in Michigan has only one middle school, Holland Middle School, which serves students in grades 6-8. The school faces significant academic challenges, with proficiency rates well below the state averages in Michigan across all subject areas and grade levels.
Holland Middle School has a diverse student population, with a majority of students identifying as Hispanic (46.66%) and a high proportion of students from low-income families (67.58% free/reduced lunch rate). The school also struggles with high chronic absenteeism, with 31.6% of students being chronically absent. Despite relatively high spending per student ($18,175), the school's academic performance, as measured by state assessments, is significantly below the statewide averages in English Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
While Holland Middle School is the only middle school in the district, its performance is an outlier compared to the state-level averages in Michigan. Addressing the root causes of the school's academic underperformance, such as attendance issues, resource allocation, and instructional practices, could be crucial in improving student outcomes and providing a high-quality education to the diverse student population.
