Summary:
The Holden R-III school district in Missouri consists of three schools: Holden Elementary, Holden High, and Holden Middle. The data analysis reveals that Holden Elementary is the standout performer in the district, consistently earning high rankings and test scores. In contrast, Holden High and Holden Middle have room for improvement, with lower test scores and ratings compared to state averages.
Holden Elementary has maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger in the past and outperforms the district and state in most MAP test subjects and grade levels. The school also has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the district and state. Holden High, on the other hand, has a relatively high 4-year graduation rate of 94.8% and a low dropout rate of 2.0%, indicating strong performance in these areas.
The data also shows variations in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools, which could be an area for further investigation to understand how resource allocation and staffing decisions impact student outcomes. Additionally, the higher free and reduced lunch rates at the schools, particularly Holden Elementary, suggest that the district may need to focus on supporting students from economically disadvantaged backgrounds to ensure equitable access to educational opportunities.
