Summary:
The Holcomb school district in Missouri consists of two schools: Holcomb Elementary and Holcomb High. Both schools serve a predominantly low-income population, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. However, the academic performance of these schools is significantly below the state averages, indicating a need for improvement.
Holcomb Elementary is ranked 635 out of 908 Missouri elementary schools and has a 2-star rating, while Holcomb High is ranked 308 out of 358 Missouri high schools and has a 1-star rating. The test scores at both schools are significantly lower than the state averages, with Holcomb Elementary students scoring 27.3% proficient or better in 5th grade mathematics, compared to the state average of 39.1%, and Holcomb High students scoring below the state averages in various subjects, including mathematics, science, and English Language Arts.
The student populations at both Holcomb Elementary and Holcomb High are predominantly White, with relatively small percentages of minority students. This may indicate a need to address potential equity and inclusion issues within the Holcomb R-III school district. Additionally, the higher spending per student at Holcomb Elementary compared to Holcomb High suggests a focus on the earlier grades, but the overall low performance across both schools suggests that the district may need to re-evaluate its resource allocation and prioritize strategies to improve student outcomes.
