Southside Estates Elementary School

Went here for 4th and 5th grade this is one of the greatest schools i ever went to. The entire year went by smooth, loved school more than home to be honest, learned lots there.

Holiday Hill is a special school. It is a gifted and academically talented leadership school. The tenured teachers care about their students and challenge them to be leaders in and out of the classroom. Students enjoy fun learning opportunities. It also offers a special Pride program for students with disabilities. The school is nestled in the gem of a neighborhood that is warm and welcoming. There is a very active PTA that focuses on family engagement and sponsors fun activities for families and students. Both my children love Holiday Hill and I’m grateful for such an amazing school community.

Dont go this school. They caught students with their phones in their backpacks and gave them a out of school suspension, no warning no nothing just hard punishment. Second teachers do not even teach your child will not learn anything here. Overall dont go to this school.

Worst mistake letting my kids go to this school. First year in a private school and I really should have done my research. They make a really good impression don’t be fooled. First thing is kids can make threats like bring a gun to school or kill somebody and act like it is no big deal, they discriminated against my son the time he was there, one student could do something and if my kid did it he got in trouble but not the other student. This is far from a Christian School, my son got a referral for saying “damn” but he walks into the office and one of the employees says “damn” they call my kids a lier when they try to tell me something “why are you lying” let my kids speak. They have students watching the staff’s kids, pulling them out of class giving them extra credit for it how is that a school for education?? It’s not. ONLY good thing I can say about this school is Mrs Rouse VPK she was amazing with my son he learned so much with her, Mrs Tarver 8th grade she was the best to my oldest one, and Mr. Jarradd he was that teacher my kids could go to him for anything and he listened and never judged

Where do I even begin? Attending this academy felt less like pursuing an education and more like signing up for an ongoing test of patience. From the moment I started, there was an overwhelming sense of disorder the kind that makes you question how things are supposed to function at all.The academic experience? A confusing mix of unclear expectations and inconsistent structure masquerading as organization. Lessons often felt rushed or poorly explained, leaving more frustration than understanding. It was less about learning and more about trying to piece things together on your own.Support and communication didn’t fare much better. Asking simple questions sometimes felt like an inconvenience rather than a normal part of being a student. A place meant to encourage growth instead felt strangely disconnected.I’m honestly surprised this experience met even the most basic expectations. A learning environment should inspire confidence and clarity not leave students feeling drained and discouraged.
