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.

Some of the things that make Holland a great high school is how close you can get to your teachers and how much they care about you and about your level of success. Another thing that makes Holland so great is the other circulars and how they bring the school together in a way that I think is different than other schools.

You can always find a teacher to talk to if you need it. If you express how you are feeling, teachers are usually understanding and will try and help you. I wish we were able to have some more fun parts instead of having the same routine every single day.

I am a better person because of this school. There is a kid that comes from every background and we all work together. It’s so diverse not only in the different races and backgrounds, but also because football players can be in vocals and freshman can be in student senate.

My son is getting an exceptional education at Holland High. He is an advanced student and in 8th grade is already taking Latin, advanced english, and algebra. He has been invited to attend private boarding schools but we feel he can get a better education here.
