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.

They have an amazing staff and the teachers care about your learning and can make learned fun for everyone. Teachers will go out of their way to make sure you will succeed and get to where the student wants to be for their future.

This school has given me experiences and chances that I never would have had before I moved. I am so grateful for my time here and was never given much trouble. Despite the struggle with COVID, I believe that Holt dealt with it the best that they could. Even for a public school, Holt exceeds expectations and has been a great stepping stone to greater things. - Gabriel Mueller

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 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...
