Holden School is a very small school. It includes grades Pre-K through 12th. Due to the school's size, everybody knows each other and knows everyone's business. The academic opportunities are great and the education is also great. However, the school lacks diversity. There are a few students of color but not a lot. A student of color feels out of place here. I would like to see more diversity and acceptance at Holden School.

I used to attent here and I must say that there is so much room for improvement. Firstly, every single male's bathroom is disgusting and is cleaned rarely. Secondly, there are so many illegal things that go on in this school, from students vaping in almost every grade and students smoking weed to a few gangs and kids selling drugs. The bullying is off the charts and teachers do nothing. It's insane that such a small school can have so much bad.

The things that I like about Holden High School are the teachers. They all seem passionate about what they teach and treat all students with respect.

Holden school has completely transformed my child. He entered pre-K as a non communicative child with some real concerns. He loved going to school, and really adored his teachers..he is now flourishing, and amazing in his first days in Kindergarten.

This school for the most part is good, but is not great. First of all, I would like to say that most of the teachers are good but there are many that I've had that do not teach at all and do not belong in a certain grade or teaching in general. Second, the homework given is not that bad but can some...
