In 2022-23, the students tested at Holmes High School scored proficient or above: 21% in math, against 43.7% in math across Texas. Each state writes its own test and sets its own proficiency bar, so compare these within Texas, not across states.

Where a state published results by grade only, the grades tested are combined, weighted by the students tested in each.
