TC Holbrook Elementary School

Q: Is TC Holbrook Elementary School a good school?

TC Holbrook Elementary School ranks 661 st of 1486 Michigan elementary schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 3 stars out of 5.

Summary:

TC Holbrook Elementary School is a public elementary school in Grand Ledge Public Schools district, serving 449 students in grades K-4. While the school's test scores are generally higher than the state average, it lags behind some of the higher-performing nearby schools in the area.

TC Holbrook has a relatively homogeneous student population, with 78.17% of students identifying as white, compared to nearby Windemere Park Charter Academy, which has a much more diverse student body. The school's test scores, while not the highest in the area, are still above the state average, but they fall short of some of the top-performing schools like Willow Ridge Elementary, which had a 3rd-grade English Language Arts proficiency rate of 70% compared to TC Holbrook's 38.7%. Additionally, TC Holbrook has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 7.0% in 2017-2018 to 16.8% in 2022-2023, which is higher than nearby Wacousta Elementary and Delta Center Elementary.

The school's declining statewide ranking, from 444 out of 1,448 Michigan elementary schools in 2017-2018 to 661 out of 1,486 in 2023-2024, suggests it may be struggling to keep pace with other schools in the state. Additionally, TC Holbrook's performance on certain student subgroups, such as female students and white students, is lower than the overall school performance, indicating potential areas for improvement. While the school's relatively high percentage of economically disadvantaged students (40.53%) may present challenges, addressing these issues could be a focus for the school and Grand Ledge Public Schools district.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
