117 E 2nd St, Holden, MO 64040

As with all cities and schools there are the good and the bad. And Holden as a town has more bad than good. The problems with drugs is beyond the point local police can do anything. And the people that provide the drugs are not getting arrested. This town is not a great place to raise your child. As for the school, there are many good and amazing teachers that really care about the children. But when you go to the administrative level, watch out. Because all they care about are themselves and their CLICK. You will not have an issue taken care of and you will not be treated equally. To make this whole thing more understandable, 19 seasoned teachers left the school in one year. That is way too many to leave such a small school district. And these are teachers that were in the district for many years. If you need to move in this area. Do not choose Holden. There are too many issues that need to be taken care of, including old money that helps keep the drug dealer family members going. This town could be a great place. But right now as I see it, enter at your own risk!
