Summary:
The Holcomb R-III school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Holcomb Elementary. This school serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade and faces significant challenges in academic performance compared to state averages.
Holcomb Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Missouri elementary schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's test scores are significantly lower than the state averages across various subjects and grade levels, with only 23.6% of 3rd-graders proficient in math compared to the state average of 40.8%. Additionally, the school has a high chronic absenteeism rate of 17.0%, which can contribute to lower academic achievement.
Despite higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes, Holcomb Elementary continues to struggle. This may be due to the significant socioeconomic challenges faced by the school, with 100% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch. The school's leadership and the Holcomb R-III district will need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to address these issues and improve the educational outcomes for the students.
