I absolutely love holton and wouldn't grade my experience here for the world. It's an amazing school where the quality of academics is high and the level of competition is equally tough. Sometimes; the competition can be taxing mentally, but it encourages me to work hard. In addition, being in a small all girls school had allowed me to be a part of several clubs and school organizations which is my favorite part.

Such a good school. Prepares you well for college, but not much diversity especially when it come to Hispanics and social class.

Without going into my personal saga with Holton, I would first like to say that we chose the school over Washington International, Cathedral, and Sidwell. It was the way my daughter’s eyes lit up when we visited.Suffice it to say that all changed. I found the girls to be mean spirited, bullies, and,...
