Holmes middle school is the worst school ever. all the kids think its so cool to fail, skip, or get F's. Disclaimer, ITS NOT. This school vapes, does fights almost everyday, and is so dramatic. The kids here are horrible. The slurs that go around is frightening. Everyone slurs, especially people that are not supposed to. (Ex, Hispanic students saying the N word and thinking its soo funny). Parents, if your going to send your kid here, DON'T. send them to other schools, like Poe MS, or Glasgow MS. I highly recommend these schools instead. This is coming from a former Holmes student.

Of course e...

As a student at HMS, I feel like this can be a safe place to have fun and make friends. Nearly all of the staff/teachers here are very nice and make learning interesting. This school (for my classes) doesn't give homework unless you DON'T do it in class. With bullying, they deal with it VERY well, I...
