Spessard L. Holland Elementary School

I would recomend going to this school, my child had mad his friends her whom had carried out with him ever seince he moved to japanThis school will allways hold an special place in his heart

Serial bullying with zero discipline from teachers. Physical ed ONCE a week. Once?Art class ONCE. STEM, once. Once. A terrible lack of diversity, if that matters to you. The teachers are lazy and either refuse to teach any kind of modern tech - AI or just don’t know anything about it, thus can’t teach it. There are no real life lessons taught here, similar to any public school system. It’s so bad it’s almost laughable, but quite sad. This is a real review and others will tell you but not in public that they feel the same. It’s not an A rated school in reality.

I’ve had serious concerns about the conditions and management at this school. There are ongoing cleanliness issues, including a persistent cockroach problem and extremely unsanitary bathroom conditions, with reports of feces smeared in the facilities. Additionally, student behavior often goes unchecked, and the administration, particularly the principal, appears unresponsive to these issues. The overall environment feels neglected and unstructured, which affects both student well-being and the quality of education.

We’ve been going to IHM for a year and are very happy! We moved from another Montessori and public elementary school and have had a positive experience overall.Here’s a few things that stand out:- The communication is better than any other daycare or school we’ve been to- The principal/director seeks feedback and acts on it to make improvements- There are a WIDE variety of sports for kids to enroll in- There is a large indoor gym used for sports and special events like short plays- There are lots of opportunities for parent involvementMy children feel safe and are thriving in the hands-on learning environment. I highly recommend IHM!
