The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My kids have had a wonderful experience at Holly Grove! The new principal is very hands on and responsive. The teachers are very passionate to see kids learn and grow.

We have been very impressed by our time at Holly Grove the past two years. The teachers have been very responsive and my daughter enjoys going to school each day. The new principal Mr Cline has jumped right in and has worked to continue to build communication and community. We love being Hedgies!

Terrible experience. Have had to go through the Board of Education to get anything fairly determined. We are about to file a State Complaint for the lack of our child's IEP being followed.

Over the past four years, with two children attending the school, we have noticed a steady decline in the performance of some of the teachers and the way they treat the kids.

Great! Awesome teachers! Need to get a handle on the current principal Mrs. K. before it goes down hill.
