I have had a very good experience at Holton. It's a good environment with great teachers. Sometimes the students aren't always great, but I have had a good time and enjoyed it.

Holton high school offers a large variety of classes and great teachers to teach them. I have a had a great experience so far and believe that I will be ready for the nest chapter in my life after I graduate. We do have a few behavioral issues but nothing that is too bad and can't be easily resolved. I believe that all of our staff members want to be there and are willing to teach.

I think that HHS is pretty typical. It's almost too average. I'd love to see some more actual teaching going on, and see teachers engaging with their students more. School should be something kids are excited to go to, excited to learn. Not something you have to drag yourself out of bed for.

Very great school. Great academics, athletics and activities. As a student I am very pleased with this school. I just wish there was more funding for all the classes.

Needs much improvement. Involvement in sports is pushed too much and the students are looked down upon if they aren't in numerous activities. Budgets are low so the arts, multimedia, band, and other classes suffer but the sports always seem to have more than enough.
