(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I am overall pleased with the education my 2 children have received from Holland. The teachers are eager and friendly and extremely engaged with my girls. The only place I would like to see improvement is in the website. My husband and I work full time and this year my 3 children will be going to 3 different schools and making phone calls each time something is needed or reading stacks of papers sent home can be overwhelming. Websites are an efficient way for me to stay as involved in their individual education goals. For example, I cannot find the school supply list anywhere on the site after being sent a flyer saying that it is there. When I called I was told I have to come in to the office. I'm sorry that I lost her list from 2 months ago, again, it was lost in "the stack" but to have to drive to the school for a list is very inconvenient.

(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - We have been at this school for 3 years now. I have one child in 2nd grade and one in Kindergarten. When we started at Holland we didnt have too many complaints. As time has gone on the school has gone down hill. The administration is extremely poor at communicating with parents. Of the office staff there is only one women in the office that is ever willing to help. The others look at you like you are inconveniencing them when you walk in the door. The principal rarely responds to notes or emails sent to him. The cafeteria manager is rude to parents, students and volunteers alike. We were told by our realtor when we bought in this area that this was an excellent school. We found out too late that it is adiquit but far from excellent. And the trouble makers run wild with very little consequence. Students being assulted in the bathrooms and on the buses. Not at all what we had hoped for.
