Summary:
The Holden R-III school district in Missouri is home to a single elementary school, Holden Elementary, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. This school has consistently performed above the state average, ranking in the top third of Missouri elementary schools and earning a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Holden Elementary's student body of 564 is predominantly White (90.07%), with notable Hispanic (5.14%) and smaller percentages of other racial/ethnic groups. The school's academic performance, as measured by MAP test scores, exceeds the state averages in several subjects and grade levels, particularly in mathematics, where 60.7% of 4th graders scored proficient or better compared to the state average of 43.8%. This strong academic performance has been maintained over the past three school years, despite a temporary dip in the school's SchoolDigger rating in 2020-2021.
With nearly half of the student population (46.63%) qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Holden Elementary serves a significant number of students from lower-income households. However, the school's per-student spending of $9,733 and student-teacher ratio of 15.7 to 1 suggest that it has access to adequate resources and staffing to support its students' educational needs. Overall, Holden Elementary appears to be a strong-performing school within the Holden R-III district, providing a quality education to its diverse student population.
