East Side

Holz Elementary has high standards for all of its students.

I've had to transfer my oldest daughter from Dunbar to this school due to being bullied and suicidal ideation. When I transferred her here, she excelled, and is doing a lot better. Been here for 2 years now, with this our last year. Definitely recommend this school to parents looking for a great school for their children to excel. Just found out they have PreK and I'll be sending my two youngest here.

MMS can be compared to a double-edged sword. It's good but not ENTIRELY good. Science class was FIRE. Emily Beal is an amazing science teacher who actually feeds into a student's curiosity instead of beating it out like most middle schools. There were ups and downs, lows and highs, but I survived. The field trips were either a hit or a miss, half miss half hit. Although one thing I disliked was taking notes. Not the act of it, just the way we were forced to use Cornell notes instead of our own methods, which led me to struggle to comprehend my notes because Cornell style wasn't the type that clicked with me. Evan (if that's the right way to spell it) is an MVP P.E. teacher. Peak P.E. teacher tbh. Instead of just baseless exercises we did actual sports like tennis, volleyball, kickball, basketball, flag football, and paddleboarding. Maria has to be an S-tier Spanish teacher, thank God for her patience. One thing I didn't quite like was that we would often have group punishments in school. If one person in a group did something bad, the ship sank with them. It was very unfair and discouraging. The boy's bathroom needs a SERIOUS renovation, it looks medieval. Secret Santa, or Secret Snowflake as they wanted us to call it was pretty fun, especially when everyone brought their own food for everyone to enjoy. The school is definitely not for everyone, but it is worth checking out!

I attended school here in 1965, possibly 1966. I loved this school.Im not sure how it is today but back then it was great. I loved my teacher who was a nun and although I can't remember her name I really loved her .
