GreatSchools Rating
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.

I went here in the sixth grade and had a not so great experience. Overall it was fine but I had a lot of issues with kids being needlessly rude to me. I was going through a lot of financial issues and it didn't help to come to school with a bunch of people who made me feel unwelcome. The students were always rude. I had a few friends but overall I felt like the outcast among the students and I felt like I wasn't even there. The teachers did absolutely nothing to make me feel more welcomed. I can't honestly think of a single teacher that made me feel good about going there. Maybe the music teacher, I remember she was pretty cool. But I missed a few days of school due to a lot going on in my life and I remember teachers being rude about it. Overall it's mostly the fault of the students in the school, and some of the teachers were really not cool. But besides that I don't really remember much else of the school. It just wasn't a good experience. 1.5/5

I purposely waited until the end of the school year to write this review since we have a new principal. Thankfully, she has really made a difference at Holmes this year. She is able to connect with the students, encourage them, and make them feel welcome and safe. In a short time, she has built a gr...
