Holland Woods Middle School

Summary:

Holland Woods Middle School is a public middle school serving 420 students in grades 6-8 in the Port Huron Area School District in Port Huron, Michigan. The school has a diverse student population, with 64.76% White, 12.38% African American, and 9.29% Hispanic students.

While Fort Gratiot Middle School and St. Clair Middle School in the district have higher academic performance and lower chronic absenteeism rates, Holland Woods Middle School faces some challenges. The school has consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 11.1% to 58.7%, and its academic proficiency rates in subjects like 6th grade English Language Arts (20.2%) are lower than the district (28.9%) and state (37.5%) averages. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students (70.7% to 76.67%) eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, which may contribute to its lower performance.

However, the data also reveals some interesting findings. While the school's overall academic performance is lower, its African American students have performed relatively well, ranking 47 out of 310 Michigan middle schools in 2022-2023. This suggests that the school may be providing effective support and resources for this student population. By learning from the practices of higher-performing schools in the region and addressing the socioeconomic challenges faced by its students, Holland Woods Middle School may be able to improve its educational outcomes and provide a more supportive learning environment for all its students.

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.
