Holland High School

Summary:

Holland High School is a public high school serving grades 8-12 with a total enrollment of 962 students in Holland, Michigan. The school is part of the Holland City School District, which is ranked 377 out of 610 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Holland High School has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (49.69%) compared to the state average and nearby schools like Hamilton High (88.6%) and Zeeland West High (74.39%), its academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on state assessments, is generally lower than the state average and these high-performing schools. For example, in 2023-2024, only 20.9% of Holland High School students were proficient in SAT Mathematics, compared to 38.8% at Hamilton High and 38.5% at Zeeland West High.

Additionally, Holland High School has seen a decline in its 4-year graduation rates, dropping from 89.2% in 2019-2020 to 71.9% in 2022-2023, which is lower than the state average and nearby schools like Hamilton High (89.6%) and Zeeland West High (93.6%). Correspondingly, the school's dropout rate has increased from 6.2% in 2018-2019 to 13.5% in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average and nearby schools. This is likely due to the school's high percentage of students (63.93%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a significant socioeconomic disadvantage compared to nearby schools like Hamilton High (22.66%) and Zeeland West High (23.16%).

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.
