Open Quote My children just completed their 3rd and final year at Holsenbeck. I have decided it would be safer to homeschool and I feel the quality of their education will improve dramatically. My daughter has dealt with bullies for the entirety of her time at this school but this year has been the worst by far. She has been physically assaulted on the bus and at school multiple times, as well as verbally abused, and nothing happens to the other students. It feels like they would rather keep their funding up by keeping children that are destroying the self esteem and school spirit of every other student they encounter than deal with the problem. My children have come home from school discussing the opinions of their teachers when it comes to trans individuals and how "great" communism could be for our country. My son had the highest average in math for the year and my kids regularly received awards for their good behavior and good grades but it didn't really even feel like much of an accomplishment this year considering the school that awarded them. My kids will never go back and I would never recommend this school to other parents. Close Quote

Open Quote Feel the school doesn't promote parental involvement. To visit child during school , visit must be planned and authorized prior ! The school is very strict on this almost to the point of red flags Close Quote

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
