Middle Schools in Holt Public Schools

The Holt Public Schools district in Michigan is home to three middle schools serving grades 6-8: Holt Junior High School, Washington Woods Middle School, and Hope Middle School. These schools vary in their academic performance, student demographics, and resource allocation, with Washington Woods Middle School emerging as the standout among the three.

Washington Woods Middle School has consistently maintained a higher ranking and 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, indicating a more stable and higher-performing academic environment. The school also boasts the lowest chronic absenteeism rate and the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Science among the three middle schools. In contrast, Hope Middle School serves a higher proportion of economically disadvantaged students, as evidenced by its higher percentage of free and reduced-price lunch recipients, and has the lowest proficiency rates in Math and Social Studies.

While Holt Junior High School has the largest enrollment and the highest spending per student, these resources do not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as the school's performance lags behind the other two middle schools. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources within the Holt Public Schools district. Overall, the data analysis highlights the need for a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to the varying levels of academic success among these middle schools.
