Jefferson Elementary School

We are so thankful we chose our neighborhood school! Holland Heights offers beautiful diversity and the staff exude kindness and compassion. I love how Mr. Derr (principal) greets kids every morning as they come to school. He goes great lengths to make himself known among the kids and they develop a healthy and safe relationship with an authority figure. He also has a passion for connecting parents and kids in tighter relationships. These are just a few reasons we love Holland Heights.

Holland West has a wonderful community of students, teachers, parents and staff. Teachers and staff strive to provide an enriched and safe learning environment. My children have attended this school for 6 and 4 years. It is a k-7 model which allows older students to model and mentor our young students. Teachers in older grades collaborate with teachers in younger grades to buddy up and share learning. The PTO is vibrant. There are opportunities for after school activities and middle school sports begins in 7th grade. The band and orchestra programs begin in 5th grade and build into an excellent tradition of middle and high school music programs.

Mi niña lleva dos años asistiendo a esta escuela y hasta ahora tengo buenas experiencias con los maestros. Es muy difícil cuando hay múltiples culturas involucradas y se hace difícil las relaciones interpersonales pero los maestros tratan y ayudan a todos por igual, yo estoy agradecida con el apoyo que le dan a mi hija
