Hollingers Island Elementary School

Posted: May 25, 2013

We just completed our third year at Hollinger's Island and I just read the conviction of a deacon at the private school where I had my children registered three years ago. Thank goodness I forfeited the $500.00 registration fee and stuck with my instincts. I could not be happier with the preparation my children have received to prepare them for 2nd grade. They are super excited and well prepared for 2nd grade. Thank you Hollinger's Island K-4, kindergarten and 1st grade teachers. The administrative staff, lunch room and anyone I have failed to mention, excellent job!!!!

I have 2 children who go here; 1 in kindergarten, 1 in 2nd. I moved from the Semmes district to this school and was a little weary about how they did things here as well as the way teachers worked with the students. I must say that I have never been more satisfied! The teachers here are amazing as is the staff. My children's teachers are the most amazing individuals. My daughter's 2nd grade teacher even recognized her brilliance and allowed her to take an a test which she passed to make it into pace! My other daughters teacher has worked so well with her and even upon taking her off her adhd meds the teacher has instilled the passion for sitting and taking the time to read! There isn't another school greater as far as I'm concerned, believe me when I say I've personally experienced a lot of them in Mobile County either when I went to school or being a substitute teacher at them. I DEFINITLY RATE THEM A TEN + !!

I cannot say enough great things about Hollinger's Island! We are in our 5th year, and 4th child, at this school. The staff and teachers are the most dedicated group of educators that I have ever come across. The school and class sizes are small enough that even teachers that my kids have never had still know their names. The office staff is wonderful. There have been many times where I have called with a question or request, and it was promptly answered and with no attitude or rudeness. Everyone is friendly and helpful. We have yet to have a "Bad" teacher and doubt that we will. As for the first poster talking about vulgarity on the bathroom walls and discipline problems....I have spent many days at the school volunteering and have never, not once, seen anything written on the walls, let along vulgarity. Any discipline problems have been dealt with promptly and strictly. Whether your child is in academic need or excels in class, the teachers and staff take special consideration with each. We are not in Hollinger's Island district and are in on a transfer that I sought solely so that my kids could attend this amazing school!
