HOLDEN R-III

Situated at 1612 S Main in Holden, Missouri, the Holden R-III School District is an open, traditional public school system serving a rural distant community within the broader Warrensburg metropolitan area. Operating independently of charter networks and supervisory unions, the district manages three operational school facilities dedicated to delivering a cohesive academic journey from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. This complete PK–12 coverage allows local families to benefit from a stable, continuous learning environment across elementary, middle, and secondary education within a single unified school district.

The district supports a student body of 1,232 pupils, maintaining steady enrollment across all grade levels—ranging from early childhood programs to a senior class of over 100 students. To foster academic growth and maintain campus operations, Holden R-III is anchored by a dedicated workforce of approximately 166 full-time equivalent (FTE) teachers, supported by 15 FTE instructional aides and 87.5 FTE administrative and support staff members. This robust ratio of nearly 269 total FTE personnel highlights the district's commitment to delivering personalized instruction and comprehensive student support services.
