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.

As I've been there for the last 4 years, I have loved Holt High School every step of the way. The teachers are so supportive and there are so many opportunities to get help and grow. The only changes I would like to see are more engaging activities put on by the administration that students will want to actively participate in.

This was rated really good in the past - but the staff has lost control - the bullying and rudeness of the students that go there is horrible. Staff doesn't take action on issues and students leave school crying - some students have started home schooling just to get out of there. AVOID THIS SCHOOL!...

The BEST High school a Parent could hope for, for their child(ren). Our experience has been a great one for all of our children. The Head principal, Mr Waters is a first-class act, along with so many caring Teachers, Coaches and Staff. A lot of parent involvement, great spirit and sense of community...
