This is our first year in this school and so far it's great. The school is providing all necessary support for my child.

This is my first year at Holmes, and I got to say one thing: WOW. The teachers are nice, the school does fun after-school activities. it's a great place, just needs to be more sanitary, For example, the bathrooms are always messy, and kids always leave stuff around the building.
Great place to be, 4.5/5

It's a perfect amount. My children have never felt stressed about it.

All the teachers are amazing! What I love about it, is that some teacher's are former Frost students. I think that's the best.

There are students who never understand anything we are learning and the teacher goes over the same thing multiple times even though they don't understand. Other smarter students have to sit and learn nothing new while they already understood everything.

It doesn't matter whether or not the students are nice or loyal, it mostly matters if you're successful. This school is terrible! These scores proved to me that I would make a huge mistake sending one of my family members to this school. I understand the fact that the students don't speak proper English, so they don't do a good job on tests, but knowing that makes everything worse. If you live in American and you can't speak English, then it would be harsh for you to be successful. This school doesn't reach out to the students who think that all of this is really easy. They should provide more challenging classes. What's the point of going to this school if you don't even learn anything? I think that they should mostly have a more diverse community; that way everyone can meet new people and learn about different religions and cultures.
