My son started kindergarten last September at Holland Elementary, within a month we had our house on the market. Let’s start with the appearance of the school, the playground is not kept up, the weeds overgrown, the front entrance just sad. The schools sign never has up to date information, in fact this year parents were posting first day of school photographs in front of the Holland Elementary sign that read “Have a great summer”. WOW. Where is the school pride? The school is so small it should not be that difficult to maintain a sign and the grounds. My favorite experience was, once for a meeting with the principal there were empty bottles of booze in the parking lot, that had clearly been there for days, the principals response “those must have come over night.” Well no they were there at baseball practice the day before…and that is not to even mention needles that were found by the fence near the playground. And then there is the 6th grade, currently and for the last 10 or so years is in storage trailers, which they love to boost has air conditioning, but they have no plans to expand. Sorry not sorry, my children deserve more. I cannot even get started on how severely behind both in reading and math my child was starting 1st grade. In a town less then 10miles away. Same School DISTRICT. And that was with 2 parents who are extremely active in his educational pursuits. I feel so bad for the children who have to attend this school, and if you have any interest in your children having a successful educational foundation do not send your child to Holland.
