I cannot say enough great things about Holmes Elementary School. Both my kids have been through this school (one boy and one girl) and both have had equally excellent experiences. The principal and vice principal are engaged, proactive, and responsive. The student body are kind, caring, and supporti
Posted by a parent on 4/17/2023My daughter have attended the Holmes school. This school is below average in terms of education. The teachers do not communicate the student progress frequently. The Math study is very poor. According to me, this school (most likely Darien school) is overly hyped. The reason we moved in Darien becau
Posted by a parent on 4/1/2018Our children's education at Holmes has been outstanding. We picked Darien primarily for the stellar reputation of its schools, but our expectations have been met and then exceeded. We also lived in the Tokeneke district prior to Holmes and found that school lacking in many ways compared to what's of
Posted by a parent on 12/18/2017Holmes School is an all around great school community, students and families, teachers and administrators; everyone works together for the common good.
Posted by a parent on 4/27/2014My two daughters have attended Holmes. My wife and I are products of NYC schools - Browning and Performing Arts - and have educators on both sides of the family.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a former student, the education here was good at CAS but the teachers there have favorite students. If one student does something bad they get in trouble but the favorite student does not. The bullying here is outrageous. They will bully you a lot. If your friend is sad or crying you cannot comfort them or else the teacher will loudly scream at you for doing it. The plantation near the playing area is dangerous there are many dangerous plants like poison ivy. The playground is unsafe since they make you play on an old parking lot. There are many dangerous cracks which is immensely angering since children play here. There are outdoor classrooms that they make you use during some tests. It is very bad since you can bugs crawling up your leg during a test which makes it tremendously hard to focus. The "prizes" that you get on your birthday are just dollar store items like little stickers that say CAS on it. This school massively disappointed meOther Review2y ago - Mater Salvatoris College Preparatory School
