The teaching staff for grades 1-8 are okay. The principal and dean do not handle situations effectively. They do not keep parents up to speed, the dean has used foul language to me and the children. She unprofessional and rude she uses street language invited me to the school to “match my energy”.
Posted by a parent on 1/12/2026I don’t recommend sending your kid to Thomas Holme Elementary School. A lot of the staff are very disrespectful and unprofessional. The dean just yells and threatens and swears at kids. I’ve gone to Thomas Holme from kindergarten through 7th grade, and there have been many major issues that the staf

Posted by a parent on 5/1/2025I absolutely love this school. The staff is so wonderful, dedicated and everyone is very communicative. I love all of the school based events that are provided for the kiddos. I wish more schools in Philadelphia were like Thomas Holmes. I am very grateful parent and my son loves this school.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible school, ESPECIALLY if your kid is autistic. Teachers don’t know what they’re doing, principals don’t care and nobody makes an effort to do any better. I gave this school two chances and it just got worst. My son won’t be going here next year, I would rather him be home school if it’s came down to it and that’s how bad it is. Pure neglect.Parent Review1mo ago - Rhawnhurst School
