My daughter is in 3rd grade at Holmes. She seems to enjoy her class and has no complaints. As far as myself goes, as a parent I see organization is lacking. Whenever I call the school no one has ever answered the phone. I reported my daughter off school from being sick last week and I left a message and never got a call back. Also my daughter started school there the first of October because we just moved to the area. I've never gotten a calendar or student handbook sent home. On the first day that she started, there was an early dismissal that day and no one told me about it. I was out getting groceries 2 hours before I thought she was supposed to get off and I come home and she's at the neighbors house. Thankfully our neighbors were nice and accommodating to my daughter. But what if I didn't have the neighbors around? My daughter would've sat outside our house for 2 hours! I was extremely angered by this. That school needs to get it together.

N/A

This school mainly does the minimum. In my time there I incontered multiple teachers that openly held contempt for special ed students. One literary called them "stupid" in the classroom. The school spoon feeds students with learning disabilities a passing grade, basically just giving them the answer. Example: on a multiple choice question with four possible answers(A,B,C,D), they would tell them the answer is either A or C. There was never an effort to work to improve these students abilities to overcome their challenges. If a special ed teacher spent "too much time" helping one student work on their challenges, they would be chastised by administrators. The goal was to MAKE all of them pass and nothing else.
