Bullying is encouraged. Staff is apathetic at best. Moving to a better city for better schools. Close Quote

My kids have had a great experience at Holm, but to get the best out of the school, you need to take an active part in your child's education. Talk with other parents to determine who would be the best teacher for your child before the next school year starts, take advantage of the after-school programs, and get involved in the Holm Helpers parent group.

My daughter has been in this school for 2 days and we both already despise it. They only provide recess one day a week for each group of children because the teachers are not able to "handle" all of the 3rd grade on the playground at one time.... That says A LOT about the abilities of this staff! This is the most ridiculous school I have ever dealt with!! Completely unacceptable! Close Quote
