The bullying here is horrible. My son hates school now. Worst school he has been to. Colgate was an excellent school. Teachers are receptive, but nothing gets resolved with the bullies. The bad kids get rewarded for being bad basically and the good kids. Nothing. Happens. Period.

Teachers at this school are not equipped to handle children with issues. Quite a few make the issue worse by ignoring the kid or flat out picking at the kid.

Hard for the kids to learn what the adults don't have.

The leadership is more concerned with staying out of the news than actually taking care of issues. They don't back the kids and still employ teachers who have no business being teachers.

If a child hits back both kids are charged and the one who starts the fight is allowed to continue to behavior.

If I didn't have to I would never send another child to this school.

The teachers just don't care at all

Posted: April 14, 2019

There's a lack of leadership at this school

Posted: April 14, 2019

The teachers do nothing when it happens. The admin does nothing. They don't care

It's a horrible school and I'm going to take my son out of it very soon

Horribly disappointing. Dangerous. Weak and apathetic administration.

Bad behaviors are covered up. Little to no repercussions for repeat offenders.

Numerous times I asked for an initial evaluation. It was pushed back to our pediatrician who told me I needed to contact the school, who told me to go back to the doctor...we just went in circles. I eventually reached a guidance counselor who promised to set up a meeting after break. I didn't hear back from anyone. My child was never evaluated at this school.

My child was continually attacked. They filed out countless incident reports only to find out that the school sat on them. When I went higher I found out BCPS had no documentation on our year long problem and the stack of paperwork given to Holabird Admin.

We are always having to contact the VP because there are incidents at school that are never handled properly, if at all. Bullying is terrible at this school and the bully isnt held responsible.

The PTSA is very involved. My son's teachers are hands on. If I ever have a problem or question they are always there. The BCPS one system is great because we can monitor our son's grades, progress and can also communicate via email directly with the adminstration.

My two daughters attended Holabird Middle 6 years ago. The school still has issues. The administration was then the worst that I have ever experienced. Coming from Norwood Elementary going into Holabird was a shock experience for me and my children. There were some teachers that were excellent and dedicated, while others just were collecting a pay check. Bullying was a big issue. Parents really need to be more involved. All parents, not just the good kids. The school is only as good as the partnership and commitment behind it to make it a quality school. I had to move out of the area for my youngest to stop being bullied in high school. The area needs character programs and accountability plus more. Holabird is the school that makes or does not make well prepared high school students. That school is the missing link that needs fixing from the teaching, administration to providing after school programs to the students to keep them out of trouble.

I can say that Hollabird if not the best is one of the best middle school in baltimore county. My son was used to be on their ESOL program. I could really say and attest that my son had a major improvements to all of his subjects, especially in Math and English. He used to have low grades in Math but he was put into a program that helped him improve his grades. Going to Hollabird Middle is really rewarding not only for our son but to us his parents. Thank you ESOL, the reason why my son went to Hollabird insteaf of his home school. Thank you Hollabird for a great job of molding my son to become a much better student and as a person, building up his confidence and self-esteem and most of all the feelng of belongingness, for being a foreign to this country. Thank you and more power!

I love Holabird Middle, is one of the best school I've ever been to. Although I can't tell much about the "being a normal student" subject, because I was in the ESOL program, and thanks to that, there were many things different with my schedule and everything else. But besides that, Holabird is an excellent school. It has great teachers and I've enjoyed my middle school years there.
