Holly Haven

My child had such a horrible experience while at green holly. He started kindergarten there and did amazing we loved his teacher he was always happy then half way through the year a new teacher came in an they switched him to her and it went downhill fast. Come to first grade his teacher from the start saw him as a bad kid and treated him as such. I got calls where she yelled at me to fix his behavior in front of him and the class, I'd fix her not him. Got threats they would hold him back. He got denied recess almost daily for what she said was lack of him doing work even though he wasn't being distracting to others. she would deny him treats for the class she'd bring in, worse was when she gave students a treat with peanuts during class knowing he has a serve allergy to peanuts I have pulled him from school and had him evaluated and he has tested 2 grades higher than he was in and is happy and doing so well now.

The teachers don't do enough with the kids. They don't put in any effort with the especially gifted kids. I guess that explains the low scores. They constantly beg for money for the school, but don't actually work with the kids. Do better.

The staff and teachers are very personable and care very much for all the students. My oldest attended 4th and 5th grades and was well prepared for middle school, academically and socially. My younger attended 1st to 3rd grade and enjoyed all his teachers. The PTA does many things for the students and families. There is a solid feel between the school and the community. We are glad we had the opportunity to be part of the Town Creek family!
