Summary:
The 49425 zip code area is home to 4 schools, including 1 elementary school, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is a virtual academy). While some schools, like Holton Elementary School, show promising performance in certain grade levels, the overall picture suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to address the academic, attendance, and resource allocation challenges faced by these schools.
Holton Elementary School stands out with relatively high proficiency rates in 3rd grade ELA and Math, but these rates decline in 4th and 5th grades, indicating potential challenges in maintaining academic progress. In contrast, Holton High School has an impressive 95.1% four-year graduation rate, but its academic performance lags behind state averages. The Holton Virtual Academy, however, struggles significantly, with a much lower graduation rate, higher dropout rate, and extremely high chronic absenteeism.
Across the schools, student demographics are predominantly white, and resource allocation varies widely, with per-student spending ranging from $6,788 at Holton Virtual Academy to $15,940 at Holton Elementary School. However, the academic outcomes do not seem to directly correlate with the level of funding, suggesting that factors beyond just resource allocation may be influencing student success. Chronic absenteeism, ranging from 22.1% to 28.7%, is a significant concern and could be a contributing factor to the academic challenges faced by these schools.
